The spectators were moved to loud mirth during the spoken episodes of this lurid film. Go to Full Review Variety Staff Variety Sep 10, 2020
Tenderloin through Its deficiencies as a underworld film and as a talking picture may be dismissed on its own account. Possibilities of the talker are more interesting. Go to Full Review Robert E. Sherwood LIFE Oct 5, 2021
