Synopsis

When the French government commissions a statue to honor his work, events take an unexpected turn as the sculpture ends up revealing more about George's personality than anticipated.

The Statue, starring David Niven, received mixed reviews from critics upon its release. While some praised Niven's performance and the film's witty humor, others criticized its lack of depth and predictable plot. The New York Times described it as 'a light, frothy comedy that provides some good laughs but lacks substance.' The Guardian, on the other hand, called it 'an enjoyable romp with Niven's charm carrying the film.' Rotten Tomatoes' consensus states, 'The Statue is a enjoyable comedy that will entertain fans of David Niven and light-hearted humor.' Despite its average rating on IMDb (4.8/10), the film manages to deliver moments of amusement and reflection.
