“The particular brand of golden sunshine that Greer Garson is called upon to shed in Her Twelve Men […] is so obviously manufactured s […]. The William Roberts and Laura Z. Hobson script is a work of most specious contrivance, without a shred of solid understanding of the problems of boys or their teachers.”Bosley Crowther: ‘Her Twelve Men’ Is at 60th St. Trans-Lux. In: The New York Times, 12. August 1954.
“Men is certainly not a bad film, but it’s a derivative […] picture that rarely surprises and lays on the sentiment a tad too thickly. […] Garson helps matters, of course, simply by her mere presence, and she makes the part come alive […]. The production, including Joseph Ruttenberg’s cinematography, is dependably impressive.” Craig Butler: Her Twelve Men (Memento vom 2. Juni 2019 im Internet Archive) bei AllMovie (englisch)
