Richard Brody The New Yorker Apr 14, 2020
Orson Welles's first full-length, one a compilation of scenes filmed largely on the streets of New York and displaying neighborhoods that no longer exist... Go to Full Review Pamela Hutchinson Silent London Mar 26, 2020
Haphazard, but buoyant, an experiment in pastiching old-fashioned cinematic styles, but with a passion that energises them. Three years before Citizen Kane and here we can see Welles happily at play with his new favourite toy. Go to Full Review Fred Topel CraveOnline Sep 2, 2014
6.5/10
Three mostly plotless slapstick scenes and that kind of works for me... Joseph Cotten is running around 1930s New York doing daring stunts and impeccable pratfalls. Go to Full Review Michael E. Grost Classic Film and Television Aug 22, 2014
Early Welles is full of his trademark subjects and visual style. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
