criticism
Paul Ickes assessed the film in the film week as follows: “The strange thing about this film is that the idea is very splendid, that in some places it is excellent in the direction, that its photography exceeds the mediocre quality - but that in everything: in direction, ideas and technical performance, there is an astonishing excess and indiscipline. The best moments are rolled out unbelievably and become irresistible ridiculous, the idea breaks off in the first half of the whole film and becomes banal ... ”And for the“ tonal reproduction of the music ”, this“ does not stand out ”.
Karlheinz Wendtland wrote: “... because this opus, dubbed with the hot needle, only stayed in big city cinemas for a short time and was then banished to the provinces. It remained the only film role for both main actors ”.
