One Foot in Heaven Ratings & Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Touching crowd-pleasing family drama.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
Out of Hartzell Spence's deeply affectionate biography of his ministerial father, William Spence, the Warners have derived a cheerful and warmly compassionate film, an excellent character study and an adult entertainment on the screen.
TV Guide
In one of his finest performances, Fredric March plays Rev. William Spence, a Methodist minister who devotes his life to transforming wavering parishes into strong pillars of faith.
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
It's worth watching for March's performance -- although we don't get to hear him preach enough -- and for his take-down of a wealthy family determined to run his church for him.
Variety
Variety Staff
A warm and human preachment for godliness.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
The movie's stiff sense of virtue won it an Oscar nomination, but more impressive is Scott's weirdly distant performance as a woman who impulsively accepts the life of a church mouse and then finds she can't do much for her children.

Emanuel Levy
Frederic March gives an honorable performance in this sentimental and fictionalized biopic of the reverend William Spence in this Oscar-nominated picture.
