Time Out

Fascinating attempt to bring together a number of disparate elements - whimsical comedy, songs, death - plus big city slum rat Sinatra and wholesome Day in the same frame.

New York Times

A bit flabby and even wishy-washy in spots... But, even so, there's a lot of warmth and feeling in this elaborately optimistic film, and Mr. Sinatra does put quills on the misfit before they blunt him to conformance in the end.

Not as good as the original, but Ethel Barrymore is terrific.

The downbeat moments just add seasoning to the film’s good cheer.

Young At Heart is a smartly cast, expertly acted ensemble film, but it unmistakably belongs to Sinatra.

Rated: 3.5/5

Old fashioned musical drama is very professionally made with excellent cast, but has a quite sentimental, contrived plot with a rather unconvincing ending.

Young at Heart is a decent film. It is about the lives and romances of three sisters in a musical family. Doris Day and Frank Sinatra give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Gordon Douglas did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the drama and romance.
