"This film has the lot - bitter-sweet story, sharp script, gorgeous colour, imaginative set design, fine acting from the ingenuee Moira Shearer and the driven Anton Walbrook, brilliant dance and music"
"Great Cold War sci-fi movie with timely but also timeless theme. Excellent special effects for its time, great acting from Michael Rennie and Patricia Neal., terrific music."
"Enigmatic masterpiece that refuses to fit comfortably into either the thriller or the social comment box. The director treats his audience as adults, compelling them to think hard about the film."
"A triumph of economical film making. Fine B movie thriller - sharp dialogue, excellent lead and ensemble acting, exciting plot, wonderful train atmosphere, and excellent pacing by the director."
"Another low-budget B-movie, this one set on board ship. Classy package of top-quality sets (recycled from The Titanic), enigmatic mystery story, and excellent acting. Plus the gorgeous Jeanne Crain"
"A tale of the Israel-Palestinian conflict through one woman's fight to preserve her lemon grove from destruction for 'security reasons'. An uplifting story, beautifully acted by Hiam Abbass"
