Reviews

“Sidney Gilliat's direction is deft, and Sellers is in form, which is about as good as comedians come.”
– Walter Goodman, The New York Times

“Sellers and Mai Zetterling evoke mature feelings of passion, something that Sellers would never accomplish again despite his great skills.”
– Dave Kehr
