All Critics (5) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (4) | Rotten (1)

[The film] leaves a bad taste.

Variety
Eric von Stroheim, whose Blind Husbands was one of the outstanding cinematographic works of last year, has done another photoplay of exceptional quality.

NYT Staff
New York Times
The idea is original and interesting and the pictorial background richly effective.

Burns Mantle
Photoplay
[Erich von Stroheim] has taken a plain eternal triangle story again and made it overwhelmingly powerful by dressing it up with a wonderful production in which a distinct and fascinating Parisian atmosphere is not the least essential.

Wid Gunning
The Film Daily
The Devil's Pass Key plays upon the emotions of the spectator lightly. It reflects the gaiety and glitter of the Paris shops and boulevard. Watching it is like reading a typical French novel of the lighter sort.
