A most worthwhile film, if for no other reason, because it provides a great opportunity to watch Tracy and March go at it in a most entertaining fashion.
April 01, 2007
Tracy and March turn in superlative performances, each trying to upstage the other.
Common Sense Media
January 01, 2011
Knock-out courtroom drama has deft comic touches.
January 01, 2002
Producer-director Stanley Kramer ably handles the incendiary material visually, making good use of deep focus and careful compositions
March 18, 2008
Director Stanley Kramer can't overcome the trepidations of a verbose courtroom drama, so he lets his two actors, Spencer Tracy and Fredric March dominate and go at each other, pretending it's a deep play of ideas.

An all time classic
August 13, 2007
Spencer Tracy does his cuddly curmudgeon turn as Clarence Darrow; it's a lazy, vague performance, but its wit provides the only crack of light in the film's somber, gray overcast.
F5 (Wichita, KS)

Director Kramer at his most unbearably high-minded and ostentatious

Stagey yes, but powerful Tracy and March acting + subject matter make this a must see.

April 04, 2003
Extraordinarly vivid, rich, and wise about the core questions of how we know and who we are.
February 09, 2006
Tolerably gripping in its old-fashioned way, thanks chiefly to old pro performances from Tracy and March as the rival lawyers and ideologists.
August 13, 2007
Absorbing, if long-winded courtroom drama bolstered by two fine central performances from Tracy and March.
