criticism
Paimann's film lists summed up: “The direction is careful and brings nice novelties, the presentation is also generous. The portrayal was consistently satisfactory, Werner-Kahle in particular did a great job, Schünzel also deserves a mention, all the more since this time he [has] been unfaithful to the embodiment of intriguing roles. Liane Haid is very dear in a blonde wig and also worthy of recognition as an actor. The weakest is the subject, which could only be adjusted by forcibly stretching the length of the film. The photos satisfied. "
