...psychological insight enables us to examine both the conscious and subconscious minds of the characters, one of whom complains to James, "You've spoilt our certainties." Greene's dramatic craftsmanship is not yet complete, and the first act betrays a number of weaknesses. But the third act goes pretty deep. It is act two, however, that is Greene's lofty achievement in this play. Its two scenes--especially the second, with its study of the alcoholic Catholic priest--are classic confrontation scenes of the first order.

Impressed into helping them make a swampy getaway, Sal gradually gets into his hardening skull the idea that no bad man is all bad. The corollary: some of society's watchdogs (such as sadistic Prison Warden J. Carrol Naish) and false heroes (the millionaire trucker) can be absolutely no good...
...made her the peerless symbol of aristocratic absolutism. For a symbol is all that Marie Antoinette ever was; and even if she had never squandered millions on jewelry, chateaux, make-believe villages and elaborate carnivals, the deluge would still have come, forced from below by sufferings as real and deep as her own pleasures were artificial and shallow...
