...shocks keep coming, too. The script, by Robert Ardrey, hangs loosely to the novel but with flaunting style, like a merry kilt to Scottish calves. Moreover, Quentin Durward is as easy on the eyes as on the ears. Much of the film was shot around the finest châteaux-Chenonceaux, Chambord, Maintenon, Fontainebleau-and the graces of French stone and green have lent a coquetry and lightness to these scenes that the art and costume people have tastefully maintained...
...Board, the only agency permitted by law to export wheat or ship it across provincial boundaries, in August 1954 placed a limit of 300 bushels on the amount of new wheat it would accept from any farmer during the harvest season. But the harvest could not wait. In the finest autumn weather in years, giant combines cut wide swaths through fields of standing wheat, spewed out rivers of top-grade grain.

Glen Bowersock, as Prospero, gives a smooth performance, but fails to convey the full significance of the magician's own transformation. Nancy Curtis is a perfect innocent as Miranda, and carries off some of the finest lines in the play with irreproachable style. Competence prevails among the other members of the cast, and Jay Shuchter and Harry Bingham rise well above this level as Antonio and Sebastian...
