- 80The New York TimesFrank S. NugentThe New York TimesFrank S. NugentIntermezzo is not exactly a dramatic thunderbolt, nothing the glamour-conscious will be inflamed about. But we found it a mature, an eloquent and sensitive film and we recommend it to you.
- 80Bergman is beautiful, talented and convincing, providing an arresting performance and a warm personality that introduces a new stellar asset to Hollywood. She has charm, sincerity and an infectious vivaciousness. Picture unwinds at a leisurely pace, without theatrics of too great intensity in the romantic passages.
- 75Chicago ReaderDave KehrChicago ReaderDave KehrThe picture is amazingly compact (70 minutes), and the swift pacing helps temper the goo. The film is no classic, but it's a good example of its type.
- 75TV Guide MagazineTV Guide MagazineAppealingly Continental in look and style, Intermezzo continually verges on soap, but is redeemed by carefully calibrated performances and Ratoff's loving direction.
- 60Time OutTime OutMaking her radiant Hollywood debut in a part she had played in Sweden, Bergman almost makes you believe the tosh, but Howard (dubbed on violin by Jascha Heifetz) comes on like a smarmy elocution teacher, enunciating atrocious dialogue full of arch emptinesses.
