Critics' reviews
- "A very good musical that should have been a great musical. Bob Fosse, making his film directorial debut, couldn't convey the verve he injected into the play to the movie version."
- "Although Shirley MacLaine tries hard, it's obvious that her dancing isn't up to the demands of the role"
- "No masterpiece, but a generally underrated musical all the same."
