FROM THE TERRACE is the melodramatic story of one man's relentless pursuit of the American Dream--and, once he's gained his final victory, his eventual rejection of that world. Paul Newman is Alfred Eaton, a man married to old money and on his way up the corporate ladder in a successful Wall Street firm. But Eaton's dissatisfaction with the values that once ruled his life and his illicit love affair with a likeminded young woman turn his world upside down at the moment of his greatest reward. This 1960 drama marks one of the many films in which longtime husband-and-wife acting duo Newman and Joanne Woodward appear opposite each another. [More]

Another failed attempt to adapt one of John O'Hara's sprawling novels for the screen.

From The Terrace builds up to one big cliche.

Robson's film is still highly watchable, with Paul and Joanne pretending their marriage is on the rocks, and all sorts of machinations in the boardroom and the bedroom.

This is a handsome picture, well-performed and emotionally intriguing as it describes the rise of a young business man and the corrosive dead-lock of his loveless marriage.

An epic winker that uses, in its best moment, a rocking dinghy as a euphemism.

A tolerable (if interminable) piece of mediocrity from 1960.
