...spite of your repeated assurances that Egypt's Nasser is handsome, dashing and "carries his 200 Ibs. with lithe grace," and your remarkable statement that he is the only one who can prevent "massed retaliation" against the Israeli "aggressors," you can hardly conceal the fact that this military dictator and self-anointed "liberator" of the fatherland is now definitely on the skids . . .

...Broadway critic called the play "an almost perfect melodrama." The movie lacks a few of the psychological grace notes of the play, but Author Hayes has written a meller with the coiling continuity of a whiplash, and a savage snapper at the end of it. Producer-Director William Wyler has the capacity to see the whole of a motion picture in one flash across the private screen of imagination; and into this sense of the whole he can interpolate ornament-all kinds of human dado and humoristic acanthus-with a skill that gives spontaneity to the grand design without collapsing...
