Heroes for Sale Ratings & Reviews
TV Guide
A hokey melodrama that is too far from reality to be enjoyed.
New York Times
Frank S. Nugent
Many a mystery is less bewildering than Heroes for Sale, which was not intended as a puzzler at all.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
This is also bracingly egalitarian, attacking the hypocrisy of communists and capitalists alike.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Not a gram of fat in Wellman's crazy, urgent, ribald Depression pamphlet
Nick's Flick Picks
Nick Davis
A Pre-Code Battle in Seattle... Heroes for Sale is not a perfect film, and not particularly interested in perfection, but really and truly, pretend this isn't a clich: they don't make 'em like this anymore.
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
John Beifuss
An astonishment: a no-punches-pulled social history of America from World War I to 1933 that covers trench warfare, drug addiction, Communism, automation, labor riots, false imprisonment, xenophobia, bread lines and more.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A satisfactory but vexing populist social conscience film from the Depression-era.
Parallax View
Sean Axmaker
The schizophrenic tone twists as much as the plot... but Wellman's gritty sensibility makes it simmer.
