Reception[]

A review in the Monthly Film Bulletin described the film as a "decorative film" that was "often pleasant to watch, with attractive outdoor locations featuring the most viridian of luxuriant foliage." and "an array of spectacular costumes" concluding that "its decorative virtues are the film's only strong point: it is totally lacking in vitality, and the stiff acting is not improved by equally stiff dubbing".[1]
