Apollo Guide

A most worthwhile film, if for no other reason, because it provides a great opportunity to watch Tracy and March go at it in a most entertaining fashion.
April 01, 2007
Tracy and March turn in superlative performances, each trying to upstage the other.
Common Sense Media
January 01, 2011
Knock-out courtroom drama has deft comic touches.
January 01, 2002
Producer-director Stanley Kramer ably handles the incendiary material visually, making good use of deep focus and careful compositions
March 18, 2008
Director Stanley Kramer can't overcome the trepidations of a verbose courtroom drama, so he lets his two actors, Spencer Tracy and Fredric March dominate and go at each other, pretending it's a deep play of ideas.
Atlantic City Weekly

An all time classic
August 13, 2007
Spencer Tracy does his cuddly curmudgeon turn as Clarence Darrow; it's a lazy, vague performance, but its wit provides the only crack of light in the film's somber, gray overcast.
F5 (Wichita, KS)
March 10, 2004
Director Kramer at his most unbearably high-minded and ostentatious

Stagey yes, but powerful Tracy and March acting + subject matter make this a must see.
Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies
April 04, 2003
Extraordinarly vivid, rich, and wise about the core questions of how we know and who we are.
February 09, 2006
Tolerably gripping in its old-fashioned way, thanks chiefly to old pro performances from Tracy and March as the rival lawyers and ideologists.
August 13, 2007
Absorbing, if long-winded courtroom drama bolstered by two fine central performances from Tracy and March.
