Gentleman's Agreement Reviews
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
The movie is as powerful today as when it captured the Best Picture Oscar a few years after Hitler's genocide ended in Europe.
Entertainment Weekly
Ty Burr
Agreement was tame, cautious stuff even back then.
New York Daily News
Kate Cameron
The words ring out with clarity from the Mayfair screen and there is no mistaking their meaning. They are not lost on the wind, but hit you full in the face, making you sit up and take notice of the force behind them.
The New Republic
Robert Hatch
By dispassionate critical standards, Gentleman's Agreement is not a success. It is a tract rather than a play and it has the crusader's shortcomings.
TIME Magazine
TIME Staff
Gentleman's Agreement is an important experiment, honestly approached and successfully brought off.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
It looks pretty timorous now.
Variety
Hobe Morrison
[A] brilliant and powerful film.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
The film still has abundant meaning and should be fully and widely enjoyed.
Newsweek
Newsweek Staff
If at times it falters, this is because of too close adherence to Laura Z. Hobson's novel, which often substituted intensity for craftsmanship. But nobody can say that the picture isn't in their slugging.
Los Angeles Times
Edwin Schallert
Really in the Academy class for supporting honors is Celeste Holm, who brings joy and gayety, as well as good common sense to the screen in her thoroughly ingratiating rendition of her role of everybody's friend.

Ida Belle Hicks
It is genuinely fine in every respect and it, happily, is much better than the original book from which it was made.
Boston Globe
Marjory Adams
A brave, courageous, fascinating film is Gentleman's Agreement... Here is a picture that must be seen by bigots as well as men of good will; by hypocrites as well as understanding Americans if its message is to be fully appreciated.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Myles Standish
The film could have raved over the subject and been extremely boring about it. But in the adept hands of screenwriter Moss Hart and director Ella Kazan, it has thrust its lesson home by making its story human and alive.
Chicago Tribune
Mae Tinee
As with Laura Hobson's novel, the basic idea is startling and courageous, and, with a film adaptation by Moss Hart, it has emerged on the screen in hard hitting and provocative form.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Mildred Martin
The film has an urgency, a sincerity and a persuasiveness which, for this reader, the book lacked. Credit for this, it seems to us, goes primarily to Moss Hart and Elia Kazan.
Detroit Free Press
Helen Bower
Tangy and crisp as tossed salad straight from the refrigerator, [Celeste Holm]'s the smart package of chlorophyll that rids the air of unpleasant tension and makes it one-world fresh.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Gita Bumpass
It has a lesson for you, and you won't mind because the movie is one of the most gripping filmed last year on any subject. You'll come away with an urge to put talk aside and do something about anti-Semitism.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Harold V. Cohen
The shoulder Gentleman's Agreement talks directly from has no chip on it, but it wears an epaulet of courage and straightens up in an eloquent plea for the common decency all mankind is heir to.
Brooklyn Daily Eagle
Herbert Cohn
It states its case with such frankness, such screen grace and such persuasiveness that it will do more for man's understanding of man than the most militant haranguer. And not for an instant does it fail to be a captivating screen show.
Vanity Fair
Richard Lawson
Caplan's performance is the vital anchor of the series. Without her, and without Brodesser-Akner's graceful writing for her to manipulate so dexterously, Fleishman Is in Trouble would feel a lot less substantial.
