Rating: C+ --
I found it entertaining as a bad film, one that detracts from the Greek tragedy with ludicrous offerings of sex.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
In the Dassin version, the melodrama is heightened and the logic is eliminated.

Esquire Magazine
When you think of the repetitiveness of film love-scenes and the low emotional temperature as a result, it seems odd how little has been done on these lines.

The Spectator
Rating: A --
"Phaedra" straddles a line between ancient and modern sensibilities. It is an undervalued and underseen example of mythology adapted to cinema.
