Reception
T.M.P. of The New York Times said, "Patterned somewhat along the lines of Get Rich Quick Wallingford, the new film is neither particularly good nor conspicuously poor farce. Thanks to competent editing and direction, it falls quite gracefully into that niche reserved for "amiable entertainments."[2]
