“All in all, Dante’s Inferno is a pretty blistering assortment of sound and fury, and the chances are that no picture of the season has beaten its audiences into quite so abject a state of self-conscious terror. […] Mr. Tracy performs with all his accustomed vigor and conviction […]. Mr. Walthall, too, provides sympathy and a gentle sincerity in the part of the modern prophet […]. Claire Trevor is pleasant and colorless as the wife.”Andre Sennwald: The Rivoli Presents “Dante’s Inferno,” a Modern Morality Story, With Spencer Tracy. In: The New York Times, 1. August 1935.
