The Comedians Reviews
Film Freak Central
Walter Chaw
Far more interesting to deconstruct than to watch.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Uninspired political drama.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
It is conventional and obvious, indeed, and is rendered no better or more beguiling by some rather superfluous additions of amorous scenes.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Underrated version of Graham Greene's novel with a strong cast.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The movie tries to be serious and politically significant, and succeeds only in being tedious and pompous.
Variety
Variety Staff
A plodding, low-key, and eventually tedious melodrama.
TIME Magazine
At such moments of transcendent drama -- and there are enough to make it worthwhile -- The Comedians is easily forgiven its other sins.
TV Guide
At 156 minutes, it seems interminable.
