United States	Chicago Tribune	"Big, bright, corny, muscular, beautifully photographed"	POS
United States	Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times	"A minor but enjoyable romp"	POS
United States	Dave Kehr Chicago Reader	"A rowdy, cheerful film on the surface, it has a disturbingly sour undertone supplied by Ford's realization that this paradise cannot be, and never was."	POS
United Kingdom	Telegraph	"A morality play that is both sentimental and comical."	POS
