Critics' reviews

"Big, bright, corny, muscular, beautifully photographed"

Chicago Tribune
"A minor but enjoyable romp"

Kevin Thomas: Los Angeles Times
"A rowdy, cheerful film on the surface, it has a disturbingly sour undertone supplied by Ford's realization that this paradise cannot be, and never was."

Dave Kehr: Chicago Reader
"A morality play that is both sentimental and comical."
