"This picture is, in my opinion, the best dramatic talkie we have yet seen."

- David Fairweather, Theatre World

"Everyone who pays a visit to the Carlton during the current run of The Devil and the Deep must wonder how it was that Mr. Charles Laughton was allowed to make his debut on the talking-screen in an American picture." - Michael Orme, The Illustrated London News
