Critic Reviews for So Well Remembered

All Critics (3) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (2)

A story which the book reviewers warned us was disappointing and dull, as originally told by James Hilton in his So Well Remembered, has been miraculously transmuted into an affecting and fascinating tale in the film of the same title.

Bosley Crowther
New York Times
Although I may be the last critic to pen it, I would like to record that I, too, thought of saying that So Well Remembered will be So Easily Forgotten, that I, too, have my moments of lightning wit in the bath.

Virginia Graham
The Spectator
A British drama that's hardly remembered anymore for good reason: it's humdrum.
