View at Film Forum“Reed gives us the seedy Underworld of London (with shadows as long and cobblestones as rough as the Vienna of his THE THIRD MAN). We get Bill Sikes and his mangy dog. We get the rowdy life of the alehouse under an embankment, and we get a Nancy who is, at last, as tough and harshly beautiful as Dickens must have imagined.” – Roger Ebert
