San Francisco Ratings & Reviews
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
It's really only of interest now due to its influence on the disaster genre, combining turgid melodrama with the grand backdrop of a natural disaster. Mark this one as "for Oscar completists only."
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
MacDonald is the weak link in this otherwise bustling film. But the final portion of the movie, when the earthquake comes a-callin', is truly astonishing.
Esquire Magazine
Meyer Levin (Patterson Murphy)
Spencer Tracy steals the picture...
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
Achieves something that has evaded disaster movies since as long as they've existed: it depicts its disaster in an engrossing, spectacular way, while also making sure that we're not just exulting in mass death.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
A huge blockbuster, this MGM melodrama is mostly known for its ten-minute recreation of the 1906 Earthquake, but it also has an emotionally engaging story and is extremely well-acted by Gable, Tracy, and Jeanette MacDonald, who sings the famous song.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
..a big, brawling, boisterous, sentimental, touching, inspiring, thoroughly entertaining motion picture.

Steve Crum
Dated but classy MGM spectacular.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Bob Bloom
Gable, Tracy, McDonald singing - and an earthquake. Who could ask for anything more? A typical MGM extravaganza.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Engagingly silly epic with soap opera story.
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
The most interesting thing about this film was its phenomenal re-enactment of the San Francisco earthquake.
