- Reviews
- "Wildhagen skilfully created varied images, livened up with optical garnishing, and so avoided a conventional and stagy operatic production. This is no orthodox opera film, but rather a tight and bubbling cinematic comedy with musical interludes." Sabine Tomzig, Hamburger Abendblatt of (6 January 1962).
