Critic Reviews

Staff (Not Credited)

The Great Waltz is a field day for music lovers plus elegant entertainment. Producers were nearly two years on this film, but the extra effort shows in the nicety with which its many component parts fit together. It is Luise Rainer who makes the film. Read full review

Ben Sachs

The tone is bright and the action brisk, and there are fun turns from Edmund Gwenn (as the priggish elder Strauss) and Fay Compton (as the younger Strauss’s matron and would-be seductress). Read full review

Collider Jeremy Urquhart

At least its status as something of an outlier within Alfred Hitchcock’s filmography makes it a little interesting, but actually sitting through it proves to be an inconsistent sort of affair at best. Read full review

Wesley Stenzel

Decently crafted, but somewhat stiff and unremarkable. Read full review

Dave Kehr

A curiosity of the first order. Read full review

The Playlist Staff (Not Credited)

Apparently a filler movie taken while Hitch was under contract, this is entirely phoned in and almost completely devoid of any of those inspired flourishes that can make even the least of his pictures worth the watching. Read full review
