Coppola's style had healthy roots in the screwball comedies of the '30s, and the glorious performances litter the film with moments to treasure.
Tom Milne, Time Out

A magnetically exasperating comic strip of a movie.
Bosley Crowther, New York Times

Coppola has fun directing, and his film is filled with sight jokes, high-spirited performances and a lively sound track by the Lovin' Spoonful.
