A Kiss Before Dying Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
This psychological thriller is penned by Ira Levin, of "Rosemary's Baby" fame...
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
Based on Ira Levin's (admittedly superior) novel...
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
A silky-smooth adaptation of Ira Levin's first novel.
Variety
Variety Staff
This multiple-murder story is an offbeat sort of film, with Robert Wagner portraying a calculating youth who intends to allow nothing to stand in his way to money... Gerd Oswald's restrained direction suits the mood.

Sean Axmaker
Its very much a product of its time, handsome and smoothly directed in Technicolor and CinemaScope by Gerd Oswald with a modest style that anticipates the romantic thrillers of the 1960s...
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Oswald, who never graduated past B-movies and television, makes masterful use of the frame, pitting his dark thriller elements against a full-color, widescreen frame.
TV Guide
An excellent screenplay (unoriginal but full of tension), subtle direction by the overlooked and underutilized Oswald, and good photography help gloss over any weaknesses in the performances.
