Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
The one bright spot is Miss Palmer, who acts with the breezy air of one who looks upon drunken artists as amusements. Maybe that's the way to look at this film.

A highly personal effort by one of the idols of the New Wave generation.

Becker's humanism is unwavering, even when confronting such stereotypes as the rich American philistine or the uncomprehending working man.
