3/5
Charming, funny and great turns from a cast with no finger-wagging. But if you don't like psychosis-inducing imagery, steer clear. Go to Full Review
Kathey Clarey Fresno Bee Aug 5, 2021

Bernard Drew Gannett News Service Nov 1, 2019
A great yarn that has passed the test of time, a good cast, photography by Jack Cardiff and music by Maurice Jarre never hurt any movie and Crossed Swords is good holiday family entertainment. Go to Full Review
Jesús Fernández Santos El Pais (Spain) Jul 25, 2019
