Reviews for The Docks of New York
1 - 7 (sorted by rotten rating)
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.
10/16/07
Seedy waterfront silent melodrama that sizzles with a smoky atmosphere.
05/24/07
Ravishing mood and atmosphere, sensual photography
12/03/03
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.
10/16/07
In other hands, this could have been a pretty ordinary dimestore romance, but Sternberg gives it depth and, as a result, greatness.
02/20/09
It's a corking program picture, thanks to George Bancroft, a good story and Julian Johnson's titles.
