Reception

Mordaunt Hall gave a generally unfavorable review in The New York Times, calling The Beautiful City "quite a disappointing production. ... the story would have to be greatly improved to make it entertaining."[1] However, he did note that, "William Powell makes the villainy as impressive as possible."[1]
