Cast

Reception

In a contemporary review for The New York Times, critic Bosley Crowther called The Lady Is Willing "a very stagy exhibition in rather revolting taste" and wrote: "Where it should be tender and simple it is maudlin and over-dressed. And where the romantic business should be delicate it is coarse and lickerish. ... The lady is too willing and not sufficiently sincere."[3]
