The Scarf (film)

In a contemporary review for The New York Times, critic Bosley Crowther wrote: "For a picture so heavily loaded with lengthy and tedious talk, talk, talk, 'The Scarf' ... has depressingly little to say. As a matter of fact, it expresses, in several thousand words of dialogue—and in a running-time that amounts to just four minutes short of an hour and a half—perhaps the least measure of intelligence or dramatic continuity that you are likely to find in any picture, current or recent, that takes itself seriously."^[1]

Critic Philip K. Scheuer of the Los Angeles Times wrote: "Although 'The Scarf' ... begins in the Mojave Desert and moves to Los Angeles, it seems to be taking place in a never-never land all its own. Its characters are a strange lot, given to a kind of mystical mumbo-jumbo in their speech—though once in a while a thought comes through with striking pertinence—and they are involved in an adventure which, like the hero, is more than a little off-base."^[2]
