“…. Sidney Lumet … began his service to this script with some sharp casting…. Dunaway, cold and cutting and sexy, gives her best performance since Bonnie and Clyde…. All of them [Finch, Holden, Dunaway, Duvall, and Straight] shine with the feeling that they know they are working for a director who understands actors, that they have relied on him, and that he has come through for them. As they have for him. They are all exceptionally good….”
