Rating: 5/5 --
Fine film version of the novel
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Rating: 4/5 --
The film version has done more than justice to Mr. Howard's play, converting a necessarily episodic tale, interrupted by fourteen curtains, into a smooth-flowing narrative of sustained interest, well-defined performance and good talk.

Huston's flawless performance as Sam Dodsworth is the film's greatest joy.
Apollo Guide
'The old triangle stuff' with a new rigor of scrutiny, that's William Wyler on Sinclair Lewis

You may wish that caution had been thrown to the wind and it had been turned into a no-holds-barred comedy.

Film4
By far the most sensitive, restrained, and effective piece of direction Wyler ever turned in, the film achieves a measure of greatness through the dignity and depth of Huston's superb interpretation of the plainspoken Yankee.

Chicago Reader
Rating: B+ --
The smoothly flowing film packs an emotional wallop thanks largely to the endearingly sympathetic performance of the straightforward Walter Huston.

Product Description:
Sam Dodsworth (Walter Huston) sells his automobile company at great profit. But his success has come at the expense his dutiful wife, Fran (Ruth Chatterton). She persuades him to take her to Europe on the Queen Mary. Sam sits and watches while Fran dances with handsome Cyde Lockert (David Niven). Fran wants to prove she is still young. Sam just wants to relax--he watches the night sky and talks to an attractive divorcée (Mary Astor). To this point DODSWORTH could be a romantic comedy. But it takes a different tack, becoming a penetrating examination of a troubled marriage.
