United States | The New York Times | "A deliciously wicked character portrait" | POS |
United States | TV Guide | "Cynically witty lines, top-notch characterizations and welcome guest appearances by Jimmy Durante and Reginald Gardner (doing a take on Noel Coward) make for classic comedy." | POS |
United States | Chicago Tribune | "It's a pleasant movie, not quite up to its reputation." | POS |
United States | Variety | "Superb casting and nifty work by every member of the company rates plenty of breveting." | POS |
United States | The New Yorker | "The play was built on topical jokes and a series of vaudeville turns, and in this version the jokes are flat and the turns seemed forced and not very funny." | NEG |
