Critical reception
Bosley Crowther of The New York Times gave the film a mixed review.
| “ | In a manner that bears some resemblance to intelligent reasoning some times, and at other times to the manifestation of sheer insanity, the people who made The Premise a Greenwich Village hit are trying to make a motion picture bear a reasonable resemblance to one. And the consequence of their strange endeavor is that sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. The Troublemaker achieves the dubious triumph of being a troublesome film.[2] | ” |
