Criticism
" Soulful Love adventures of a fugitive, later returning penitent novice at the time of the Napoleonic wars in Spain, surrounded by a Marie miracle. Maximum weird set as half Operetta Theater in scene. "
" With respect to the records and legends, had this classic religious pantomime a remarkably awesome, if not mystical quality to the stage where it was usually listed against the backdrop of a huge cathedral. But after the Warners and Butler paraphrased it for the screen, it was garrulous, colorful and vulgar, and only begins in a church. "
