Reception
Writing for Night and Day in 1937, Graham Greene gave the film a poor review, complaining primarily about the acting of Magda Schneider. Greene claimed that Slezak's "magnificent buffoonery tries to save the film," but Greene concluded that "Austrian films are born dead: horrible bright fakes from a ruined country, libellous laughter".
