Clyde Gilmour Maclean's Magazine The ethereal Audrey Hepburn was a good choice to portray a mysterious "bird girl"...but Mel Ferrer's ponderous direction and a gauzypoetic ending defeat the worthy project. Oct 28, 2019 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com One of Audrey Hepburn's few bad films, a pretentiously mythic and romantic tale, misdirected by her husband Mel Ferrer, and further suffering from lack of chemistry with Anthony Perkins.
