Reviews
The national and international film critics reacted to this romance, a mild late work by the once celebrated star director Wise, largely indifferent to disinterested. Below is a small selection:
Leonard Maltin wrote: "Soapy, but oddly effecting drama" and "Beautiful photography by Gerald Hirschfeld and likable performance by Wagner in her first major role".
Halliwell's Film Guide characterized the film as follows: "Solemn, inconsequential topical drama which made no impact whatever".
film-dienst and the lexicon of international film state: “Unimportant love story, which, however, gains considerable entertainment value through the perfectionist staging”.
