Industry Reviews
"...Fresh and interesting....[The film] benefits enormously from the uncommon innocence and vulnerability of [Conn's] manner, the delightful eccentricity of her timing and the air of invincible hopefulness she brings to even the most heartbreaking of situations."
New York Times - Janet Maslin (09/01/1977)
