ReceptionThe film received mixed reviews from critics. Bosley Crowther of The New York Times called the film "a light-weight story of mistaken identities which brushes quickly over the more intriguing implications of bedroom farce and relies in the main for its humors upon familiar low-comedy mugging and anachronistic gags. Some of them are funny—the first two or three times, anyhow ... But a lot of modern slapstick and confusion only goes so far in ancient dress—and, in this case, it isn't far enough."[4] Variety wrote, "Sophisticated audiences will find the gags too unsubtle and the action too obvious, but the greater part of the film audience will relish the out-and-out screwiness of the whole idea."[5] Harrison's Reports wrote that the film "should, for the most part, prove satisfying to the masses, for it has plentiful gags, a few good songs, and romance."[6] Film Daily called it "packed with laughs" and "definitely timely as escapist entertainment."[7] In a review for The New Yorker, Sally Benson reported that the film had revived the stage musical "not very successfully." However, she wrote, "if you can stand seeing double, and don't mind hearing American slang in ancient Greece, and can even smile feebly over chariots equipped with taximeters, you may be able to totter out of your nearest air-cooled theater with a sultry sort of satisfaction."[8] References1. ^{{cite book |last= |first= |date=1993 |editor-last=Hanson |editor-first=Patricia King |title=The American Film Institute Catalog of Motion Pictures Produced in the United States: Feature Films, 1931-1940 |url= |location=Berkeley and Los Angeles |publisher=University of California Press |page=2476 |isbn=0-520-07908-6 |accessdate= }} 2. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.oscars.org/oscars/ceremonies/1941 |title=The 13th Academy Awards (1941) Nominees and Winners |accessdate=August 12, 2011|work=oscars.org}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=https://movies.nytimes.com/movie/85826/The-Boys-from-Syracuse/details |title=NY Times: The Boys from Syracuse |accessdate=December 12, 2008|work=NY Times}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9B06EFDF133EE432A25752C0A96E9C946193D6CF |title=Movie Review - The Boys from Syracuse |last=Crowther |first=Bosley |authorlink=Bosley Crowther |date=August 1, 1940 |website=The New York Times |publisher= |accessdate=November 26, 2015 }} 5. ^{{cite magazine |last= |first= |date=July 17, 1940 |title=Boys from Syracuse |url= |magazine=Variety |location=New York |publisher=Variety, Inc. |page=16 |accessdate= }} 6. ^{{cite journal |last= |first= |date=July 20, 1940 |title='The Boys from Syracuse' with Allan Jones, Martha Raye and Joe Penner |url= |journal=Harrison's Reports |location= |publisher= |page=114 |accessdate= }} 7. ^{{cite journal |last= |first= |date=July 15, 1940 |title=Reviews of New Films |url= |journal=Film Daily |location=New York |publisher=Wid's Films and Film Folk, Inc. |page=7 |accessdate= }} 8. ^{{cite magazine |last=Benson |first=Sally |authorlink=Sally Benson |date=August 10, 1940 |title=The Current Cinema |url= |magazine=The New Yorker |location=New York |publisher=F-R Publishing Corp. |page=45 |accessdate= }} External links
