Tony Rayns Time Out 02/09/2006
Given the production constraints, it's no surprise that most of it is hopelessly stagey. But there are flashes of Ulmer style in the nightclub scenes, and none other than Sidney Bechet blows clarinet at the wedding. Go to Full Review Ebenezer Ray New York Age 01/26/2021
With but few, and very few, exceptions the actors are a limp, amateurish group, who speak dialogue in stilted up-tones, like a child reciting for the teacher. Go to Full Review Fernando F. Croce CinePassion 01/26/2021
A ragged wonder. Go to Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews 12/14/2007

Retaining little, if any, of Ulmer's noted skills as an artistic filmmaker. Go to Full Review Phil Hall Film Threat 11/09/2005

09/16/2011 It's difficult to judge this because the print used for the dvd is in horrendous shape, with truly awful sound. That said, it's more interesting for its historical and sociological implications than its aesthetic merits. See more Read all reviews
