Rating: 2/5 --
This cynical, coruscating drama has a strong look of being contrived, and Mr. Brooks' happy ending for it is implausible and absurd.

New York Times
Rating: 5/5 --
Strong cast (Newman, Page) in deeply dramatic Williams drama.

It's a glossy, engrossing hunk of motion picture entertainment, slickly produced by Berman.

Variety
Brooks' direction seems a little too stolid for all the sleazy, flaming passions. These are, however, given full measure by an excellent cast.
Time Out
Rating: 3.5/5 --
The film gets a little bogged down in minutiae and irrelevant side plots, but on the whole it's solid and searing.
Filmcritic.com
Rating: 3/4 --
There is no clearer face for the conflict and despondency of the decade of the sixties than Newman's magnificent bastards.

Film Freak Central
Offers little indication of what made the original play interesting (especially in Elia Kazan's stage production), despite the fact that Paul Newman and Geraldine Page are called on to reprise their original roles.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Handsome Chance Wayne never found the Hollywood stardom he craved, but he's always been a star with the ladies. Now, back in his sleepy, sweaty Gulf Coast hometown, he's involved with two of them: a washed-up, drug-and-vodka-addled movie queen and the girl he left behind...and in trouble.
