Tony Rayns Time Out Given the production constraints, it's no surprise that most of it is hopelessly stagey. But there are flashes of Ulmer style in the nightclub scenes, and none other than Sidney Bechet blows clarinet at the wedding. Feb 9, 2006 Full Review Ebenezer Ray New York Age With but few, and very few, exceptions the actors are a limp, amateurish group, who speak dialogue in stilted up-tones, like a child reciting for the teacher. Jan 26, 2021 Full Review Fernando F. Croce CinePassion A ragged wonder. Jan 26, 2021 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Retaining little, if any, of Ulmer's noted skills as an artistic filmmaker. Rated: C Dec 14, 2007 Full Review Phil Hall Film Threat It wasn't worth the bother. Rated: 0/5 Nov 9, 2005 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Jul 15, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member It's difficult to judge this because the print used for the dvd is in horrendous shape, with truly awful sound. That said, it's more interesting for its historical and sociological implications than its aesthetic merits. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
