In other hands, this could have been a pretty ordinary dimestore romance, but Sternberg gives it depth and, as a result, greatness.

It fulfills their requirements, somewhat obscure to this reviewer, of rhythm, plasticity and unity. In simpler and more popular terms, it seems to be exceptionally good motion picture entertainment.

Top CriticThe Docks of New York is really a director's and cinematographer's picture if ever there was one and on that account it's nothing less than masterly.
10/16/07
It's a corking program picture, thanks to George Bancroft, a good story and Julian Johnson's titles.
