The Talk of the Town Ratings & Reviews
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
A seriocomedy in which laughs and legalities easily commingle.
Solzy at the Movies
Danielle Solzman
Three's a crowd in The Talk of the Town and the laughs are a plenty.
Rachel's Reviews (YouTube)
Rachel Wagner
A hilarious mixture of witty banter and screwball antics with a wonderful cast
Cine-Mundial
Elena de la Torre
The Talk of the Town is another brilliant triumph for Columbia Pictures. [Full Review in Spanish]
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Though verbose, this darkly humorous film benefits from star power of Cary Grant in atypical role, some witty dialogue, and timely subject matter.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The acting by Cary Grant, Jean Arthur, and Ronald Colman is top-notch.
TV Guide
The contrivance of plot is compensated by one of the most genial casts in history.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
It may be off beam in its philosophy, but its quality of humor is not strained.
Film-Forward.com
Kent Turner
Part romantic triangle, part Capra-esque hokum, all coast on star power.
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
In addition to its status as one of the great screen comedies, the film is a treasure trove of homosexual undercurrents, many of which aren't all that disguised.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Brilliantly directed, acted, scripted thought-provoking comedy
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Overblown, too long, and not nearly as much fun as it's cracked up to be.
Filmsite
Tim Dirks
The Talk of the Town (1942) is a classic romantic comedy/drama of the 1940s from producer/director George Stevens and Columbia Pictures.
