Deadline - U.S.A. Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Windy, self-righteous newspaper film, written and directed by Richard Brooks in a fair reflection of the way journalists think about themselves when they've had a few too many.
Variety
Variety Staff
Bogart gives a convincing performance all the way, from his constantly harassed deadline existence, his personal romantic stale-mate, and his guts in avenging the beating given his crime reporter.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
Really good newspaper pictures are few and far between. This one, while melodramatic, does all right by the trade.
Associated Press
Bob Thomas
The newspaper stuff is treated with amazing accuracy and the story crackles for most of the picture.
Creative Loafing
Matt Brunson
Although it was made over a half-century ago, expect to find plenty of topicality in Deadline - U.S.A., a sturdy drama about life at a big-city newspaper.
Playback:stl
Sarah Boslaugh
Deadline-U.S.A. is set in a fantasy world, although the pleasantness of that fantasy (like most nostalgia about the 1950s) depends on whether or not you are a straight white man.
TV Guide
TV Guide Staff
Bogart is terrific as the no-nonsense editor who infects his staff with idealism. Supporting actors Stewart, Stevens, and Begley are outstanding as believable newspaper heroes.
