Le combat dans l'île Ratings & Reviews
Video Librarian Magazine
Kathy Fennessy
French filmmaker Alain Cavalier's 1962 directorial debut melds a political allegory with a love triangle to powerful effect. Le Combat dans L'ile ("The Fight on the Island") also predicted Bernardo Bertolucci's classic 1970 film The Conformist.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Certainly not an undiscovered masterpiece.
Parallax View
Sean Axmaker
... you know this is heading into truly weird territory.
Kansas City Star
Robert W. Butler
Alain Cavalier's film, in re-release, offers plenty of left/right, labor/management, humanity/ideology contrasts, but dramatically it's silly. It's worth watching for Schneider, who is simply radiant.
Boston Phoenix
Gerald Peary
Rescued now from 1962 oblivion, Alain Cavalier's black-and-white "noir" is sleek and cool, with complicated turns and thrilling shoot-outs and stormy betrayals, both political and romantic.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Anne [is] played with heart-stopping capriciousness by Romy Schneider, who was never lovelier and who is capable of distracting everyone in the film, and the audience above all, from whatever grave political matters are afoot.
Film Journal International
David Noh
Alain Cavalier's New Wave thriller is a tasty French mix of politics and romance, while glorifying that iconic goddess, Romy Schneider.
Village Voice
Vadim Rizov
There's a surprise every five minutes, except when fascism gets its ass kicked at the end.

might now finally find itself as a key part of post-Algerian France.
