The Great Gabbo Ratings & Reviews
TheArtsStl
Sarah Boslaugh
James Cruze is efficient in his direction of The Great Gabbo, which is no small feat considering the difficulties of shooting with the early sound cameras.
Classic Film and Television
Michael E. Grost
Some bizarre musical numbers in the granddaddy of all "strange ventriloquist" chillers.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
An early talkie that gets your attention because it's so perverse.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
A laboratory experiment that isolates the Stroheim persona for all it's worth
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Interminable, unbelieavably show early talkie of interest only for Stroheim.
