Robson's film is still highly watchable, with Paul and Joanne pretending their marriage is on the rocks, and all sorts of machinations in the boardroom and the bedroom.

Reviews for From the Terrace
1 - 8 (sorted by date; UK critics are listed first)
Top CriticJust as disappointing as the other John O'Hara novel made into a movie that year, Butterfield 8 with Liz Taylor, but without that film's melodramatic juice, though Paul Newman is well cast as the ambitious, upwardly mobile man in moral crisis.
04/04/09
Another failed attempt to adapt one of John O'Hara's sprawling novels for the screen.

Top CriticFrom The Terrace builds up to one big cliche.

Top CriticThis is a handsome picture, well-performed and emotionally intriguing as it describes the rise of a young business man and the corrosive dead-lock of his loveless marriage.

Top CriticNo review available.
03/26/04
An epic winker that uses, in its best moment, a rocking dinghy as a euphemism.
07/01/03
A tolerable (if interminable) piece of mediocrity from 1960.
