Luis Rey starring Lynn Bari, Francis Lederer, Akim Tamiroff, and Alla Nazimova. Reception On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 4% based on reviews from 24 critics. The site's consensus states: "Despite an all-star cast and some impressive visuals, The Bridge of San Luis Rey is a lifeless, slow-going adaptation of Thornton Wilder's classic novel." Stephen Garrett of Time Out wrote, "Why do good actors pop up in bad movies? More perplexingly, why do so many good actors end up in the same bad movie?", and Desson Thomas of The Washington Post wrote, "Even though director-adaptor Mary McGuckian expended much creative energy trying to pump original spirit into the characters, she never brings any of them to life." On June 2, it was announced that the film had been recut, remastered, and rescored in order to restore it to the version based on the original script including 40 minutes of previously unseen footage. The Bridge of San Luis Rey Remastered is to be released on digital by Giant Pictures across North America on June 14.
