- Critics' reviews
-
-
"It's an unusual picture shot against authentic Hong Kong backgrounds and offbeat in its treatment, yet as simple and moving a love story as has come along in many a moon."
-
"This is basically a sappy story that does not hold up and that is so obviously designed to jerk tears that it seems more self-parody than love story."
-
"Slushy but touching stuff and Jennifer Jones is full of charm."
