A Thousand Clowns Ratings & Reviews
New York Herald Tribune
Judith Crist
A Thousand Clowns comes to the screen with a joyous vitality and a probing compassion that are irresistible.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
With a cast this good and dialogue this witty, the film holds onto its modest charms.
TV Guide
This warm and wonderful comedy-drama is a paean to non-conformity.
MSN.com
Sean Axmaker
... there's something disingenuous about presenting defiant purposelessness and unemployment as an act of courage.
Film Snobbery
Phil Hall
Robard's performance is loud, playing-to-the-audience brash, and his version of nonconformist behavior is obnoxiously unfunny.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
This serio comedy about nonconformity is well acted by Jason Robards and the others, but it's still a play

Steve Crum
Oscar caliber performances; based on hit Broadway play
Variety
Variety Staff
Terrif dialog to match Robards' scenery-chewing create a sock impact.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Patchy nonconformist comedy.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
The humor is still surprising, and Mr. Robards is still full of spice with his clownish wise-cracks and the map of Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey stamped all over his face.
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
I liked the way it started, but by the end I was quite annoyed by it.

Bob Aulert
Timeless is an adjective that's tossed around too frequently, but A Thousand Clowns more than qualifies.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
The mechanics of the Herb Gardner script show through much too clearly for this to qualify as anything other than shrewdly programmed entertainment.
