Becker's humanism is unwavering, even when confronting such stereotypes as the rich American philistine or the uncomprehending working man.

The one bright spot is Miss Palmer, who acts with the breezy air of one who looks upon drunken artists as amusements. Maybe that's the way to look at this film.

Top CriticAs a whole, the film is somewhat of a failure for Becker, but there are enough fine moments to recommend it.
