Rating: 5/5 --
Classic soap opera, maybe all time best; certainly Reagan's best

Rating: 3/5 --
The film is dark, incredibly so for a mainstream movie before World War II.

Rating: A+ --
Kings Row (1942) is a thought-provoking, emotional, melodramatic, 'Peyton Place'-like film with a turn-of-the-century, small-town setting that revealed evil, cruelty, duplicity and depravity.

Rating: 4/5 --
A wonderful guilty pleasure potboiler enchanced by a magnificent Korngold score and fine acting from Ronald Reagan in the performance of his career. Only lead Robert Cummings is weak as Paris Mitchell; just imagine James Cagney in the role!
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Rating: 7/10 --
...while episodic and sentimental and filled with all kinds of unlikely turns of events, there is no denying the characters are endearing and the ending uplifting.

Movie Metropolis
Rating: A- --
Sam Wood's Oscar-nominated small-town tale is one of the darkest melodramas Hollywood made in the 1940s, full of neurotic personalities and perverse secrets.

Unpleasant soap opera, but well made.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Description by OLDIES.com:
It's a quaint turn-of-the-century small town of shady streets, swimming holes and the Sunday afternoon clip-clop of horse and buggy. But that peaceful exterior conceals human lives twisted by cruelty, murder and madness.
