Show People Reviews
MovieMartyr.com
Jeremy Heilman
Show People is a classic of its type, certainly more entertaining than The Artist, which recycled the same material to considerably diminished effect.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
What might have been hysterical back in the day, today seems passably cutesy comedy.
The Retro Set
Nathanael Hood
Show People is a remarkable film...
Kansas City Kansan
Steve Crum
Interesting Hearst-backed production starring Davies and other big stars of the era.
Variety
Variety Staff
It has laughs, studio atmosphere galore, intimate glimpses of various stars, considerable Hollywood geography, and just enough sense and plausibility to hold it together.
New York Times
Mordaunt Hall
It is a hardy satire on Hollywood life, directed by King Vidor, the versatile producer of "The Big Parade." But he is not alone responsible for the gaiety in this picture, for Marion Davies shares honors with him through her unusually clever acting.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
The overall behind-the-scenes glimpses of moviemaking are often fresh and entertaining.
LIFE
Robert E. Sherwood
As one who has said some pretty mean, nasty things about Marion Davies in the past, I am gratified in the extreme to be able to report that, in Show People, she is extraordinarily, uncannily good.
The Nation
Alexander Bakshy
Show People is a fairly amusing comedy, though most of its laughs, one is sorry to say, come from the titles.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
[Vidor] offers droll and tangy glimpses behind the scenes, contrasting the threadbare sets of knockabout comedies with the richly appointed décor of melodramas.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
Davies was nonetheless a talented comedienne. It was a gift she too seldom got to exploit...one shining exception was 1928's Show People...
