The Docks of New York is really a director's and cinematographer's picture if ever there was one and on that account it's nothing less than masterly.

Seedy waterfront silent melodrama that sizzles with a smoky atmosphere.

Ravishing mood and atmosphere, sensual photography

It fulfills their requirements, somewhat obscure to this reviewer, of rhythm, plasticity and unity. In simpler and more popular terms, it seems to be exceptionally good motion picture entertainment.

In other hands, this could have been a pretty ordinary dimestore romance, but Sternberg gives it depth and, as a result, greatness.

It's a corking program picture, thanks to George Bancroft, a good story and Julian Johnson's titles.
