Critical reception
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "As the title suggests, this is no more than the filming of a woman's magazine story, and has the traditional air of unreality. The ingredients – eccentric genius, misunderstandings, music, and a variety of settings – are put together without inspiration."[5]
In The New York Times, Bosley Crowther thought the film "a grim little sample of bad writing, bad acting and bad directing all around."[6]
