Critic Reviews for Blue Denim

All Critics (3) | Fresh (3)

While [Dunne] is most remembered as a great screenwriter, his tender, unassuming direction of Blue Denim shows that he was a filmmaker ahead of his time.

Matthew Lucas
From the Front Row
Blue Denim is a product of not only a more conservative time but also a more conservative Hollywood. Yet the film is nevertheless free of the hysteria and hypocrisy often found in vintage works of this nature.
