Mordaunt Hall New York Times For those familiar with the Teutonic tongue, it is a moderately entertaining offering, but persons who anticipate enjoying the original combination of sharp satire and pleasing melody will be disappointed. Sep 21, 2019 Full Review Iris Barry National Board of Review Magazine Here is an extravaganza in Hogarthian vein, but dressed out in deliciously exaggerated late 19th century costumes, and set in a romantic London underworld that never was.

David A A distinctive atmosphere, good acting, an interesting plot combine to make this movie worthy of its reputation. It tends to leave one feeling like having been beaten with the big satire stick however. Print-wise- surprisingly good sound quality but visually in need of some work. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/06/10 Full Review Read all reviews
