Critic Reviews

Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
This odd, silly melodrama starts out like a maudlin musical but takes a few surprising turns and winds up an off-kilter, Pre-Code classic.

David Cornelius, DVDTalk.com
It manages to cram an awful lot into its compact 80 minutes, but this becomes its weakness.
