The Flame of New Orleans Ratings & Reviews
Cine-Mundial
Don Q.
The story is appealing, the direction is magnificent, and the photography is excellent. [Full review in Spanish]
The New Yorker
John C. Mosher
With every picture now, Marlene Dietrich grows more and more a comic. I mean it in the most delightful and flattering sense, for the lady is very droll indeed, and charming also, in The Flame of New Orleans.
Variety
Variety Staff
Picture misses its apparent mark of being a smartly sophisticated farce by a considerable margin, winding up as a lightweight entry.
New York Times
Theodore Strauss
What, pray, has happened to Rene Clair? That is the first question which pops into the mind of a chagrined filmgoer after seeing [this] stilted and sluggish comedy.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Rene Clair directed, although the continental charm the producers must have hoped for didn't materialize.
