Sight and Sound "...Ophuls' camera swirls around, catching all the action and coarse pageantry, and the effect is invigorating..."Los Angeles Times "It is all of a piece from beginning to end: The mood, the music, the remarkably fluid camera movement, the sets, the costumes....The actors are in Ophuls' complete control, an additional element in his examination of the romantic myth."Chicago Sun-Times "[T]his work of overwhelming visual excess truly soars due to the director's legendarily meticulous and expressive camera movements."Film Comment "[A] masterpiece....It's in a league with CITIZEN KANE, THE RED SHOES, and other movies that operate on a higher plane of sophistication and creativity than their contemporaries." -- Grade: AA.V.
