“The music is classic, the film, in its artistry, is classic. Too often, though, it is as static as a formal painting in an exhibition. It does not move as a moving picture should.” –

“This film is not to be missed. It belongs to the cult of disaster, but is no disaster. A well-plotted and extremely exciting yarn, it must be one of the greatest fish stories ever.” –
