Critic Reviews
-
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Like the other small musicals Douglas Sirk directed at Universal in the early 50s, this is better than it was supposed to have been at the time.

, Film4
Sirk averaged two films a year, in all the principle genres. Several are masterworks, while others, such as this 20th-century-set musical comedy, are charming programmers enhanced by unpretentious professionalism.
-
Geoff Andrew, Time Out
Sirk's customary concern with hypocrisy and intolerance is, given the genre and overall tone of the piece, surprisingly to the fore in a subplot about corrupt politicians.

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Gets its energy by the inspired performance from Dan Dailey.
