Reviews
The following can be read in Films 1965–70 : “Unsuccessful attempt at a comedy with pop elements, frivolous and tasteless. - We advise against it. "
In the lexicon of the international film it says: “The film adaptation of the novel, which is apparently based on popular predecessors (“ Engelchen or Die Jungfrau von Bamberg ”) entertains with some of its frivolous and pop scenes, but quickly gets lost in a“ Young People of Today ”comedy without it own ideas.
