Critic Reviews for The Last Gentleman

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

...so crammed with sentimental rubbish that it would make an author of birthday greeting cards blush with inferiority.

Meyer Levin (Patterson Murphy)
Esquire Magazine
The whole family can go to The Last Gentleman and come away greatly edified, convinced of the rewarels of goodness and the awfulness of greed.

Ann Ross
Maclean's Magazine
The picture has one really hilarious and unexpected bit of farce [which] stands as a great relief to the rest of the film, which is pretty much a stock affair.
