...kicked over an oil lantern, thus starting the fire, seems to be of dubious historical accuracy. Nevertheless, Twentieth Century-Fox is privileged to rewrite history in the interests of drama, and drama it surely is which the film provides once the fateful lantern is upset.

Undaunted by gut-busting vocal hurdles, she sang, moaned and screamed her part, heating every note with emotion. Critics unanimously confirmed her European reputation as No. i Elektra and an artist of phenomenal ability...
