The Magnificent Yankee Ratings & Reviews
The Nation
Manny Farber
The theatrical Calhern mauls the process of growing old into a picturesque joke of rheumatism, fatigue, diminishing powers.
Associated Press
Bob Thomas
The Magnificent Yankee is a splendid contribution to American history.
Classic Film and Television
Michael E. Grost
Low key near-documentary biopic, with interesting sidelights in US history and culture.
Nick's Flick Picks
Nick Davis
So inoffensive and so insignificant, it makes you wonder why a film version of Emmet Lavery's play was either desired or delivered...there's just no apparent motive.
