Death Takes a Holiday Ratings & Reviews
MovieJawn
Rosalie Kicks
This Pre-Code is such a great example of the time aged phrase, "They don't make romantic dramas like they used to."

Sarah Boslaugh
The real visual treats in Death Takes a Holiday, however, come from the art decoration by Hans Dreier and Ernst Fegté.
Vanity Fair
Helen Brown Norden
Fredric March plays Death as if he thought he might possibly be Dracula; and he intones all his words with an awesome, old-Shakespearian-actor solemnity. Evelyn Venable is contrastingly starry-eyed and vernal as his love.

Death...as a house guest that can't be gotten rid of
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
In this wearisome and predictable plot line, Death falls in love and bores us to death talking about it.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Mitchell Leisen's surprisingly complex (especially with its brief 79 minute running time) film has proven itself immune to both time and remakes.
