Rating: 2.5/4 --
At 156 minutes, it seems interminable.

TV Guide
Rating: 2.5/5 --
It is conventional and obvious, indeed, and is rendered no better or more beguiling by some rather superfluous additions of amorous scenes.

New York Times
At such moments of transcendent drama -- and there are enough to make it worthwhile -- The Comedians is easily forgiven its other sins.

TIME Magazine
A sadly inept adaptation of Graham Greene's novel.

Time Out
A plodding, low-key, and eventually tedious melodrama.

Product Description:
Yet another of the Taylor/Burton sagas which seem to have running times as long in length as the relationship is tenuous. Political drama adapted by Graham Greene from his novel, about an odd assortment of characters living and coping in 1960s Haiti, under the regime of dictator "Papa Doc" Duvalier, and his infamous secret police, the Ton Ton Macoute.
