The Model and the Marriage Broker Ratings & Reviews
New York Daily News
Wanda Hale
In "The Model and the Marriage Broker, 20th Century-Fox has given Thelma Ritter her biggest and best role, a comedy role faintly touched with pathos, and the popular comedienne is even funnier than you expect.
Harrison's Reports
P.S. Harrison
Many chuckles as well as some touching and warm moments are provided by this romantic comedy-drama... The direction and acting are first-rate.
Chicago Tribune
Mae Tinee
Miss Ratter is a natural for a role such as this. She's warm, she's funny, she's extremely likable and a very shrewd actress who knows how to give any scene just the right touch.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
As usual, it is Miss Ritter who runs away with the show, particularly when she is able to get free of the undertow. Her wisedup air, her cynicism disguising a heart of gold, her barrel-house voice, her sudden radiance have never been better employed.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Mildred Martin
[The Model and the Marriage Broker] undertakes to shove Thelma Ritter another rung up the ladder to stardom. It doesn't quite come off.
Illustrated Daily News (Los Angeles)
Howard McClay
Outcome of this venture is never in doubt, but Mae's future is. The film closes with a downright charming scene between Mae and -- well, you go find out for yourself.
Boston Globe
John W. Riley
Want to have some fun? Try The Model and the Marriage Broker.
Modern Screen
Seymour Peck
Thelma Ritter, who very nearly stole A Letter To Three Wives and All About Eve away from their stars, is, at long last, a star herself.
Associated Press
Bob Thomas
Thelma Ritter, in her first really starring role, is almost up to her previously high standards as a dry humorist. Jeanne Crain and Scott Brady provide romantic interest.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A breezy romcom that has some charm but falls flat when it tries to also be perceptive.
