...brother looms too large, performs too loud; the play is far too long in ending and then ends badly. Other things in the play seem insufficient and even flat: scenes lack outward drama without displaying any of Agee's inner force. But, with good performances by Colleen Dewhurst, Arthur Hill, Aline MacMahon and John Megna (as the small son), the people, most of them, smell of life and their behavior smacks of truth.

His deeply felt Don Quixote seemed to overcome the world, as Philosopher Unamuno put it, "by giving [it] cause to laugh...
Some seven or eight years ago, John Ford directed a technicolor opus called The Quiet Man, about a red haired colleen and an ex-boxer come back to the ould sod. Now, as if in atonement for that bit of profitable fakery, Ford has given us The Rising of the Moon, a little trio of flicks full of peat, poteen and artistry...
