Shakespeare-Wallah Ratings & Reviews
Esquire Magazine
Dwight MacDonald
Everyone acts naturally and Mr. Ivory's direction is light and sensitive, managing to suggest the subtlety and comedy and pathos of Anglo-Indian relationships.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
"Shakespeare Wallah" is a tribute to the gallantry, talent and courage of the Kendals. Its gentle humor, however, has a Chekhovian cast.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
A breezy and beguiling study, comedy, romance, elegy.
Turner Classic Movies Online
Sean Axmaker
... a bittersweet drama of the twilight of a theatrical way of life.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
Very delicate and lovely.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Surprisingly light and enjoyable early James Ivory film with luminous Felicity Kendal.
Chicago Reader
Don Druker
Ivory is particularly acute in catching the peculiar matrix of moods and emotions that hold the troupe together and which keep the British and the Indians from ever really understanding each other.

David Bezanson
more intimate and nuanced work than the team's subsequent high-profile period films, like The Remains of the Day.
