Arrowsmith Ratings & Reviews
Out of the Past
Raquel Stecher
Even with its flaws Arrowsmith (1931) is a glorious Pre-Code film. It tackles a difficult subject, isn't afraid to experiment and there is a refreshing lack of racism.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Emotionally gratifying, it dramatically only crawls along with so many actionless scenes.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
One of John Ford's in-depth probes of the doctor's role in society, Arrowsmith was based on the novel by Sinclair Lewis who refused the 1926 Pulitzer because of the prize's alleged advocacy of work that endorsed "the wholesome American life."
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Many shots show an early awareness of mood and expression, using heavy shadows and diagonal shapes to establish visual conflicts.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...the film's episodic structure ensures that it rarely becomes boring - though the story does lose some momentum towards the end...
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Brilliant, too little seen John Ford film of the Sinclair Lewis novel.

Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
One of those prestige pics from decades past that make you wonder exactly what all the fuss was about.
