The New York Times
The New York Times"...the movie generally works, almost entirely due to the forceful talents of Garland and her non-singing leading man, James Mason."

Slant Magazine
Slant Magazine"A nearing-the-end Judy Garland memorably disintegrates as the singing starlet whose beloved actor husband drinks himself to destruction."
—
