The Devil Is a Woman Ratings & Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
If you can stomach the sour story, it's both clever and sophisticated.
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
seems designed to simultaneously emphasize and lampoon Dietrich's smoldering screen persona
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Dietrich's fiery performance is irresistible, especially the way she stomps her feet and fires eye-daggers to get what she wants.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
The film seems a retrospective formulation of Dietrich and von Sternberg.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
The runt of the von Sternberg-Dietrich litter.
Variety
Variety Staff
While Devil is a somewhat monotonous picture, Sternberg has given it clever photography and background.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Sternberg's universe is a realm of textures, shadows, and surfaces, which merge and separate in an erotic dance.
New York Times
Andre Sennwald
This column regards The Devil Is a Woman as the best product of the Sternberg-Dietrich alliance since The Blue Angel.
The New Yorker
Pauline Kael
It's a story of obsessive love, and von Sternberg's version is certainly obsessive. There's a slightly crazy daringness about his approach to the mythic.
Esquire Magazine
Meyer Levin (Patterson Murphy)
Marlene Dietrich cuts loose and overacts the part of a shrugging, mincing Spanish beauty who digs her heels in the heart of the man who worships her. As usual, Von Sternberg overloads his story with startling camera artifice.
TV Guide
Of all the von Sternberg-Dietrich films this is the most unpopular and unsatisfying.
Vague Visages
Justine Smith
Dietrich's otherness translates quite poorly to Spain and so does Sternberg's filmmaking. With her beautiful voice lost to high pitched exclamations and her mystery reduced to mere coyness, Dietrich's performance crosses the threshold into burlesque.
