Virginia Wright Illustrated Daily News (Los Angeles) [It Happened at the Inn] has the finest collection of characterizations seen on the screen in a number of years. Nov 18, 2021 Full Review James Agee The Nation Some of the characters are as salient as those of comic strips; none lose truthfulness or depth through this; all are with tender, sober adroitness graded, controlled, and modulated between different levels of caricature and... realism.

Audience Member Light but intelligent and engaging, this film has a bit of a Preston Sturges feel to it. Offers a satisfying portrayal of life in rural France at the time.
