Reviews

  • Filmdienst: " Witty and entertaining, frivolous Lubitsch comedy with ironic undertones. The film lives through his dialogues and the quixotic absurdity of his characters. Lubitsch celebrates once again the highly developed art of suggestion from him. "
  • Gong lexicon: " Experienced with funny highlights. "
