The Smiling Lieutenant Ratings & Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Charming lightweight musical.
New York Times
Mordaunt Hall
Wit and melody swing through Maurice Chevalier's latest picture.
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
This is one of Lubitsch's best films, and that's saying a lot.
Variety
Variety Staff
The drought is in the disappointing Oscar Straus score of four numbers.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
It's quintessential Lubitsch in the way it suggests sexual dalliance with the brightening or darkening of a gas lamp outside a bedroom.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Lubitsch's glissando rhythm is a thin veneer that never softens the essential cruelty of the story
TV Guide
The players are so good, the dialogue (by Lubitsch, Ernest Vajda and Samson Raphaelson) so witty, and the direction so skillful that no one minds the logic lapses.
