In Old Chicago Ratings & Reviews
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
can't hold our interest for much more than five minutes
Slant Magazine
Eric Henderson
Like San Francisco, events sort of just happen and allegiances just sort of shift around to stall time before the grand finale.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Zanuck's disaster film, part of cycle that includes Ford's superior Hurricane, is not as entertaining as MGM's San Francisco, but the set-pieces of crowds, riots, and cattle stampedes during the fire are impressive.
Variety
Variety Staff
As a film entertainment it is socko.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Under Henry King's direction there is little of the old Fox pep.
Esquire Magazine
Meyer Levin (Patterson Murphy)
...quite a sociological punch, and a real Chicago flavor. Dirty politics, saloon gangs, slums, tricked elections, fake reform parties. Why old Chicago?
TV Guide
Chicago makes up in atmosphere and color what it lacks in historical accuracy.
New York Times
Mr. King's direction, occasionally, is inspired, and the photography has unusual style and dramatic impact.
