Academy Award winners Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy star as a husband and wife on America's frontier ... farmers in a "sea of grass." When wife Lutie Brewon (Hepburn) has an affair that produces a child, she is ostracized from the community. Meanwhile, the farmers watch helplessly as their lands are exploited until they become a dustbowl.

Esquire Magazine

Rotten

Spencer Tracy, as the rugged individualist, does his best to look monumental and inspired. But the inspiration seldom gets off the ground.

Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews

Dennis Schwartz

Rotten

Fails to deliver the required action for a western.

The New Republic

Rotten

It seems wasteful to let two such good, attractive actors wander through a lavish production like thoroughbred somnambulists.

Bosley Crowther

Rotten

To the credit of Elia Kazan, it must be said that his direction has pace, but the writers and others have betrayed him.

Fresh

Film is loaded with very superior acting and spectacular imaginative photography.
