Richard Brody The New Yorker Orson Welles's first full-length, one a compilation of scenes filmed largely on the streets of New York and displaying neighborhoods that no longer exist... Apr 14, 2020 Full Review Pamela Hutchinson Silent London Haphazard, but buoyant, an experiment in pastiching old-fashioned cinematic styles, but with a passion that energises them. Three years before Citizen Kane and here we can see Welles happily at play with his new favourite toy. Mar 26, 2020 Full Review Fred Topel CraveOnline Three mostly plotless slapstick scenes and that kind of works for me... Joseph Cotten is running around 1930s New York doing daring stunts and impeccable pratfalls. Rated: 6.5/10 Sep 2, 2014 Full Review Michael E. Grost Classic Film and Television Early Welles is full of his trademark subjects and visual style. Aug 22, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
