The mixture of happiness and grief, laughter and sobs, reality and farce makes this an admirable attempt at great filmmaking.

Reviews for Pete 'N' Tillie
Director Ritt keeps the gags coming, but it is the two leads' chemistry that makes the film work.
This is the wittiest, warmest and most ingratiating movie to appear in a long time, with a beautifully sustained and muted edge of sadness.
