½ "The French master at his peak… utterly beguiling." TV GUIDE

"The strange and beautiful illusion that Veronica Lake is completely unreal is charmingly nourished in Rene Clair's film… The illusion is thoroughly disarming, and so is this whimsical film." THE NEW YORK TIMES

"Lake is delightfully effective as the malicious woman, whose ideas of punishment are often beautifully absurd." TIME OUT

"The acting is delightful and, as usual, Clair surrounds himself with fine collaborators. It's short and wittily acerbic, and suggests that his confections may be worth re-assessment." CHANNEL 4 FILM
