Critic Reviews
-
Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
A senseless romantic espionage fails to recreate the chemistry that Rita Hayworth and Glenn Ford had in the noir Gilda, but Hayworth looks glamorous in Jean Louis Oscar-nominated wardrobe.

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
This tired tropical thriller is another attempt at making a Gilda.
