Reception
The New York Times critic Bosley Crowther panned the film, writing "it does nothing to enhance the reputations of either the movies or a national confectioner's brand."[1] Critic Craig Butler described the film as "a surprisingly engaging little slapstick flick" with a "screenplay [that] is silly and contrived".[2]
