Woman Wanted eventually progresses into an increasingly tiresome and convoluted midsection... Go to Full Review Ann Ross Maclean's Magazine 10/11/2019
Woman Wanted, though a programme picture with no particular build-up, is much livelier entertainment than many more pretentious films. Go to Full Review Raquel Stecher Out of the Past 02/27/2019
Woman Wanted is a light drama that is equal parts endearing and eccentric. Worth watching for the superb cast. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

05/10/2016 reel good B movie fare See more 11/26/2014 A couple good leads are squandered on a bland film. Maureen O'Sullivan is wrongly accused of murder but escapes from the authorities on her way to jail and then set out with lawyer Joel McCrea to prove her innocence. The premiss is promising enough, but the film really meanders and isn't all that compelling. It's really only made watchable by O'Sullivan and McCrea. See more Read all reviews
