Reviews
- Lexicon of international film : “Ingenious, entertaining, slightly frivolous Lubitsch comedy with ironic undertones. The film lives through its dialogues and the unworldly bizarre nature of its characters. Lubitsch celebrates once more the highly developed art of suggestion. "
- Gong lexicon: " Experienced with funny highlights."
