Critics' reviews
- One of director Luis Buñuel's favorite films, as he confessed in his autobiography "Mi último suspiro" (1982): "I was enthusiastic about 'Portrait of Jennie', with Jennifer Jones, an unknown, mysterious and poetic work. I declared somewhere my affection for this film, and Selznick wrote to thank me."
