The Phenix City Story Ratings & Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Richard Kiley does a fine job as the crusading reformer.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Its borderline-obscene wallop is derived from its brusque brutality.
East Bay Express
Kelly Vance
A nasty docudrama profile.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Karlson's finest hour.
Film Culture
George N. Fenin
The Phenix City Story, then should be commended for having attempted to dis- close to the wide public an undistorted image of one of the standing ills that afflict our society.
Parallax View
Sean Axmaker
... one of the most hard-hitting crime films of its era... inspired by real-life events and directed in a semi-documentary style with a tabloid punch.
Classic Film and Television
Michael E. Grost
Brilliant social commentary film - an extraordinary view of society in 1955.
