Village Voice
Rating: 4.5/5 --
Pure modernism hiding in the guise of a classical Hollywood potboiler, a perfect cinematic embodiment of the loss and despair of the post-war moment.

The beautiful Tierney betrays her lovely countenance by playing one of the most evil creatures ever to slink across the screen.

TV Guide
[Tierney is] exceptional in the part, and far better than the legions of actresses who've subsequently set down the rolling pin and bouquet in favour of the ice pick.

Film4
[The] placid calculation still carries a jolt. The director, John M. Stahl, has a knack for knowing when to ramp up the hysteria...
New York Times
Gothic psychologizing melodrama, so preposterously full-blown and straight-faced that it's a juicy entertainment.

New Yorker
Has emotional power in the jealousy theme but it hasn't been as forcefully interpreted by the leads as it could have been in more histrionically capable hands.
