Former United States President Ronald Reagan delivers a star performance in this classic, heart-wrenching drama of the damage caused by dark secrets that lie just beneath of surface of an idyllic life in the small town of Kings Row. Early 1900s. Five children grow up together to become young adults in a seemingly perfect middle-American town, but they are haunted by carefully hidden mental illness--which erupts violently: One of the friends is murdered by her father, the town psychiatrist, when he discovers she is pregnant; and a vindictive surgeon unnecessarily amputates the legs of a dashing young playboy (Reagan) who had dated his daughter.

Otis Ferguson

In spite of overlength, [Kings Row] has a nice apportionment of dramatic qualities.

While several of the lesser ideas, such as pity and revenge, aren't demonstrated with as much tact, the sweeping melodrama is still a winning formula.

A film of very high quality that you won't easily forget. [Full Review in Spanish]

Potent, artful cinema.
