Miss Leigh shapes the role of the girl with such superb comprehension, progresses from the innocent, fragile dancer to an empty, bedizened street-walker with such surety of characterization and creates a person of such appealing naturalness that the picture gains considerable substance as a result.

This one features the heartbreaking young Vivien Leigh with her flower-like face, flashing eyes and seductive fragility; Robert Taylor is a little stiff as the hero. (isn't he always?), but it's a nice lush MGM production. [31 Oct 1999, p.34]
Vintage tear-jerker set in MGM's never-never England where an ageing Guards officer (Robert Taylor) indulges in a lengthy flashback from the Second World War to his ill-fated affair with a ballet dancer (the entrancing Vivien Leigh) who took to the streets when he was reported missing in the First World War. [21 Aug 2005, p.91]
Glossy MGM weepie, a tale of loving sacrifice in the first world war to warm the cockles in the dark days of the second. [16 Dec 2006, p.53]
