Although it lacks the fire and energy of Kazan's masterpieces, Man on a Tightrope is still an expertly crafted and wholly engaging film.

John H 11 Jan 2011

Kazan wisefully keeps it low-key enough to refrain from the corny, and Fredric March's performance gives the film its weight.

Kirk E 23 Mar 2011

Compelling screenplay, but several of the performances are stilted and stagey.

Randy T 25 Mar 2011

Fredric March leads his small circus troupe in a daring escape from Soviet occupied Czechoslovakia. Say what you want about Elia Kazan and his shameful role in Joseph McCarthy's witch-hunt, the man could direct with the best of 'em. Man on a Tightrope could have easily become cliché ridden propagandistic tripe but Kazan has crafted it into something of substance. ...and nobody but nobody plays an opportunistic slut like the magnificent Miss Gloria Grahame!

Dennis Schwartz 11 Oct 2011

Writer Robert E. Sherwood never gets the screenplay to gracefully walk across the tightrope.
