February 27, 2013
The breadth of Josef von Sternberg's satire is laid out in the age at William Powell's office, where the elegant axis is complemented by sang-froid gagwork.
July 31, 2006
German Emil Jannings became the first Oscar winner, when he won Best Actor for this as well as The Way of All Flesh; here he plays a former Russian General turned extra who goes mad when asked to recreate the Revolution in a movie
August 28, 2010
Jannings is a forceful screen presence and his characterization of the general is impressive in its oscillation between power and loss
May 08, 2013
Brilliant silent.
September 04, 2010
Sternberg uses the [acting] contrast to differentiate the sides of the battle, emphasize the class difference and create a dynamic of old Europe and new.
New York Times
March 25, 2006
If there are moments when Mr. Jannings holds the same expression and pose too long, you are rewarded for the most part with a brilliant performance in which there is a wealth of imagination.
February 27, 2013
One of acclaimed German actor Emil Jannings' first American pictures, directed by Austrian expatriate Josef von Sternberg and tailor-made to suit Jannings' skills and screen persona.
February 27, 2013
Sternberg is a true master.
January 01, 2000
Sternberg's direction makes this second only to The Docks of New York as the most accomplished of his silent films.
June 01, 2016
Though the action moves in a predictable direction, Jannings' anguished breakdown makes for a compelling pay off.
June 24, 2006
The sheer sophistication of Sternberg's visuals makes nearly all current releases look old-fashioned.
March 26, 2009
Plenty of direction and as much photography. There doesn't appear to be a miss or skip either.
