Reception
Frank Nugent praised the film in his 'The New York Times' review, writing "his [James Hilton's] 'We Are Not Alone' emerges as a film of rare tenderness and beauty, compassionate and grave, possessed above all of the quality of serenity...one of the most soundly written films of the year, one of the best directed and, of course, one of the most brilliantly played."
