Critic Reviews for Beggar on Horseback

All Critics (7) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (1)

  • The settings can't be given too much praise, for they are original and beautiful as well as inspiring at times. That same praise goes for the technical work and the direction, in fact, for everything about the film but its general effect.

    Robert F. Sisk

    Variety

  • This picture is one of great distinction... Mr. Cruze has shrewdly availed himself of the opportunities afforded by the camera. There are marvelous sets, bizarre costumes, glorious lighting effects, and a most deft handling of the dream scene.

    Mordaunt Hall

    New York Times

  • Unlike anything ever presented on the screen is Beggar on Horseback... so much so that it is next to impossible to convey through the medium of words a comprehensive idea of this production.

    C.S. Sewell

    Moving Picture World

  • If you miss it, you'll be passing up one of the best shows of the year.

    Agnes Smith

    Photoplay

  • There is a splendid production, some unusual sets, and with James Cruze handling the direction you are sure of a capable presentation of the subject, but it is the subject matter which fails and it will fail deplorably [at the box office].

    The Film Daily

  • A milestone of artistic creations.
