The Patsy Ratings & Reviews
Photoplay
Photoplay Staff
Marion's impersonations of Pola Negri, Lillian Gish and Mae Murray are captivating. An "ugly ducking" story, but clean and amusing.
Washington Post
Nelson B. Bell
King Vidor did a handsome job of directing.
Arizona Republic
Republic Staff
"The Patsy" is perfect entertainment.
San Francisco Chronicle
SF Chronicle Staff
If it is not new in theme, it is very well done -- by far the best of Marion's pictures.
Times-Picayune
K.T. Knoblock
Miss Davis is excellent and she has, in addition to a great director, a great supporting cast.
Baltimore Sun
Baltimore Sun Staff
It's a shame the rest of the picture doesn't maintain the high standard of the opening episodes. Not that it all isn't good; but the first three are better.
Brooklyn Daily Eagle
Martin Dickstein
"The Patsy" is something you ought to see.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Mabel Gouldy
As light comedy "The Patsy" has its moments of real humor, although there are spots where the action is jerky and the comedy is a little too stilted.
New York Daily News
Irene Thirer
Without a doubt, this is her best performance to date. Marion makes you giggle six times to the minute.
Cleveland Plain Dealer
W. Ward Marsh
"The Patsy" in films is broader fun the stage play was. It is only fairly good, average entertainment.
Chicago Tribune
Mae Tinée
Miss Davis is supported by a knowing cast and she brought herself three expects in her director, photographer and subtitler.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
William R. Breyer
It's a good movie. It is entirely clean, there is not an objectionable line or scene in it, and it's good fun all the way through.
New York Times
Mordaunt Hall
This picture is just the sort of diversion for a rainy afternoon.
Variety
Variety Staff
Barry Conners' stage play has been converted with liberal licenses into a dandy laugh picture. Marion Davies does some really great comedy work.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
The search for a suitor-friendly personality is a descent into lunacy, many a proverb is mangled in gags so ebullient that the heroine's daffy lilt can practically be heard behind the title cards.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
[Marion Davies] performs the role with a pent-up gusto, never missing a trick or a moment to shine.
