There is nothing about The Perfect Furlough to warrant superlatives, but there's plenty to keep you giggling.

The pace is fast; all the wacky proceedings have a winning air of gaiety; and Tony has himself a ball.

A very small film, in other words, but it leaves one with one's confidence in Blake Edwards intact.

Maclean's Magazine

Mildly naughty in spots if it's judged by ultra-prim standards, this is a fast and breezy comedy of the sort Hollywood used to produce with gratifying regularity in the 1930s.

The cast is given little to do in this by the numbers flick.

Fluffy little comedy with appealing cast. It's all so much silliness but deftly done.
