Not only does Leigh look outrageously beautiful, but she seems to be radiating sheer, undiluted adoration and desire through her eyes, voice and movements, perfectly received and matched by Olivier.

That Hamilton Woman gains much from Leigh's playfulness and placid beauty.

... the most gracefully directed and dramatically engaging film from British film impresario Korda, who generally directed like a producer.

Rarely has a more thoroughly harrowing and emotional portrait of life at home during wartime been rendered on the screen

Top CriticIt's big. It's glossy. It's rather noisy. But it's also rather charming in its old-fashioned way.

Winston Churchill's favorite film; he reportedly saw it 83 times.
