Damn Yankees Ratings & Reviews
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
The mise-en-scenes are often found wanting (almost certainly from calls made by stage director Abbott rather than film director Donen).
Midwest Film Journal
Nick Rogers
An uncharacteristically restrained point-and-shoot that at least often points at greatness. It may not be a perfect game, but Ray Walston, Gwen Verdon and Bob Fosse make it a quality start.
The Catholic World
Moira Walsh
The baseball jokes are funny, the lyrics apt, the players expert and, most important, the mood fast and unpretentious The sexy dancing and demeanor of Gwen Verdon are in a class by themselves.
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
While the film's proscenium blocking keeps it from from reaching the heights of Donen's Singin' in the Rain, Bob Fosse's choreography is allowed to unfold organically with minimal directorial interference.
Movie Views
Ryan Cracknell
A lively celebration of baseball as America's pastime set during an era where the game was at its peak.
TV Guide
Terrific, Oscar-nominated score by Jerry Ross and Richard Adler is electric.
TIME Magazine
As a cinemusical, Yankees manages to steal home by a wide margin.
Variety
Variety Staff
The Damn Yankees team, which ran the score high for three seasons in Broadway's legit ballpark, was reassembled to go to bat in this sparkling film version.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
This version of the Broadway hit offers a rare opportunity to see most of the stage performers recreating their roles, plus an early glimpse of the genius of Bob Fosse.
eFilmCritic.com
Scott Weinberg
One of the better big-budget music-fests ... mainly because it has the devil and some baseball in it.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Matt Bailey
While watching Damn Yankees offers many pleasures, none compare to the spectacle of Tab Hunter in the prime of his beauty.
Filmcritic.com
Pete Croatto
hasn't aged very well
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
The movie's got a team-load of spunk and spirit that go a long way toward entertaining an audience.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Not the equal of Stanley Donen's parallel project, The Pajama Game, but a fine and vigorous film of the Broadway musical nonetheless.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Hard to watch, TV-looking filmed stage play with some good songs and Ray Walston.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
Miss Verdon has the sort of fine, fresh talent that the screen badly needs these days.
Three Movie Buffs
Scott Nash
Why did and does Hollywood continue to put non-singers in musicals? No one in this movie has a good voice.
