The Rogue Song Ratings & Reviews
Washington Post
Nelson B. Bell
Stupendous backgrounds in natural color lend it the beauty of spectacular pageantry and the vigor of its performance a forcefulness nothing short of dynamic.
McCall's
Robert E. Sherwood
Mr. Tibbett does give his all, and what a lot it is! The sound apparatus quivers under the impact of his vocal blasts; but it is equal to the severe test, and no one can complain that Mr. Tibbett's fine effect is ruined by faulty recording.
LIFE
Harry Evans
Life recommends The Rogue Song because of Mr. Tibbett's magnificent rendition of the music by Franz Lehr and Herbert Stothart.
Brooklyn Daily Eagle
Martin Dickstein
Frankly, The Rogue Song is hardly a composition of such merit as to deserve the distinction of serving as Mr. Tibbett's first vehicle before the movie microphones.
Detroit Free Press
Ella H. McCormick
The scenes are in color, the settings are artistic, the direction by Lionel Barrymore carefully done and the story dramatic and thrilling, but every one of these details is likely to be considered non-essential in the memory of [Tibbett's singing].
New York Daily News
Irene Thirer
As to settings, The Rogue Song is as lovely as any production we can recall.
Variety
Sid Silverman
Other than Tibbett's vocalizing there's many a dull moment. Tpo many to technically class it as a good picture.
Los Angeles Times
Edwin Schallert
Add a new name to the stellar roster In Hollywood! ... Lawrence Tibbett made his talking-picture debut last evening at Grauman's Chinese Theater, and the staunch walls of that edifice are probably still vibrating from the applause and the bravos.
San Francisco Examiner
Ada Hanifin
With magnificent vocal stride this fine baritone of the Metropolitan Opera Company carries The Rogue Song on the wings of a soaring triumph that heralds the dawn of a new era on the sound screen.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Robert Randol
Costumes and scenery are beautiful while much of the music of Franz Lehr and Herbert Stothart is attractive. There is a beautiful ballet number in white and another... in pastel tinted costumes. The coloring in this is highly effective.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Harold V. Cohen
The Rogue Song is interesting because of its interesting star and he, in turn, is enough to make an otherwise average operetta worth while.
Baltimore Sun
Donald Kirkley
The Rogue Song is all voice, to be sure, but what a voice. In comparison -- Al Jolson is a wheezy bleater, Ramon Navarro a nice little choir boy, Rudy Vallee a poor imitation of Dead Pan Buster Kenton.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
H.H. Niemeyer
[The Rogue Song] is a picture of great beauty with the magnificent voice of Lawrence Tibbett added.
Hartford Courant
Walter Brown
It's the singing of the star alone that makes the show of any value at all.
Kansas City Star
Jack Moffitt
The Rogue Song cannot be put down as one of the best Laurel-Hardy efforts, but it cart be said these two funny men accomplish their purpose of balancing Mr. Tibbett's fine singing with lampoonish tricks that are sure-fire audience appeal.
Boston Globe
Globe Staff
The Rogue Song is a spectacular, vivid, exciting picture, and the plot Is savage enough to fascinate the average film fan. However, the chief Importance of the new talking film is the singing and magnetic personality of the new talkie star.
Chicago Tribune
Mae Tinee
With Laurence Tibbett [The Rogue Song] classifies as excellent entertainment. Without him, despite lovely coloring, some fine scenery, and several bits of expert acting the piece would be but an anemic and meandering affair.
Orlando Sentinel
Orlando Sentinel Staff
It is a vivid, romantic story of adventure and love -- but music is an integral part of it, and [Tibbett] sings songs ranging from works of operatic magnitude to simple love songs, all intimately bound into the action.
New York Times
Mordaunt Hall
It is not a film to criticize adversely the excuse for a story, for to be able to listen to Mr. Tibbett sing is ample reward for sitting in one's seat. It is, moreover, an audible picture in which the vocal sounds are finely synchronized.
TIME Magazine
TIME Staff
It was notable because the 100% technicolor was an improvement on previous color films. Too, it fills any huge auditorium with much the best voice yet known to cinemaddicts, the voice of Grand Opera Baritone Lawrence Tibbett.
