Reception
Paimann's Filmlisten summarized: "The film has certain qualities: it is well cast, neatly presented and photographed, and features a number of beautiful landscapes. The subject matter of the film in question could only be gleaned from the motifs, not the dialogue, for which an extremely brisk directorial pace could have provided an equivalent. However, the director, who otherwise worked very carefully, failed to achieve this. A number of very witty titles are pleasantly noticeable."[3]
