Reviews from Letterboxd:
- ScreeningNotes – ★★★★☆
“Face to Face opens with history professor Brad Fletcher retiring from his position at a school in Boston in order to move to Texas and recover from his tuberculosis, but before he goes, he gives his students one last history lesson.” - John Chard – ★★★★☆
“History Professor Brad Fletcher heads west for his health, but falls in with Soloman Bennett’s outlaw gang. Fascinated by their way of life, Fletcher finally takes over the gang, leading with a new ‘efficient’ ruthlessness.” - Lencho of the Apes – ★★★☆☆
“Early-sound science fiction, set ten years in the future. The parts that don’t require dialogue are executed with some flair; there’s even a quote from Metropolis.”
