49th Parallel Reviews
Movie Nation
Roger Moore
A classic that reminds us of a time when we knew Nazis aren't "very fine people."
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
The major asset of Michael Powell's expectedly propagandistic British film, which was nominated for the Best Picture Oscar (under the title The Invaders) is its accomplished ensemble, including Olivier and Eric Porter.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The rousing war drama managed to be a better propaganda film than most such films.
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
[Humanizing the Nazis is] an extremely effective technique, and it makes for an extremely effective film.
Filmcritic.com
Jay Antani
Syrupy political sentiments aside, 49th Parallel is still a worth a look as a niftily crafted action-adventure of the period.
Film Threat
Phil Hall
Musty propaganda. This one didn't age that well.
Slant Magazine
Eric Henderson
While it might not seem so on the surface to those weaned on Why We Fight and, conversely, The Eternal Jew, 49th Parallel is wholly valid as propaganda.
Cine-Mundial
Elena de la Torre
One of the most extraordinary and original war movies I have seen. [Full Review in Spanish]
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
The oddest of wartime recruiters, a masterwork of wily drollery
