Reception
David McGillivray reviewed the film in the Monthly Film Bulletin and stated that the film "pulled out all the stops to contrive a three-handkercheif weepie unsurpassed since the days of Love Story."[1] McGillivray praised the film as "flawlessly photographed by Roberto D'Ettore Piazolli" but found that the film "all too often one's tears are stemmed by the usual doubts. Why, for instance, is Richard so callous to a girl he knows is dying of leukaemia? And why, in particular, does Stella have so much faith in a composer whose ability is clearly limited to writing bland scores of the type that accompanies this film?"[1]
