Critic Reviews
-
Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
Sadly, Chaplin's last picture, a slender, old-fashioned bedroom farce, is a misguided effort in which neither Brando nor Sophia Loren are well cast.
-
Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Both the shipboard ball sequence and the climactic scene (both involving dance) are pure bliss, and Chaplin's handling of the widescreen format and color are surprisingly assured.
-
Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
Chaplin's much maligned, but ultimately lovely, last film.
