Reviews
The Protestant Film Observer sums up his criticism as follows: “Simple, but acceptable entertainment film, which offers excitingly good original footage of the Indianapolis race towards the end. From the age of 15 possible. "The lexicon of international films judges somewhat less benevolently :" In its approaches, an intelligent entertainment film about marriage and work, which, however, gets lost in trivialities and shows considerable differences in level in its design.
