Reception
Walter Goodman of The New York Times didn't give the film a good review stating:
<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />
The occasional sharp line in Celine La Freniere's screenplay points up the general dullness of the plot, which originated in a novel by Roderick Mann. It is a collection of passingly amusing incidents without a strong connecting line or a consistent tone. Little happens to keep us wondering what will happen next. The burden falls on Mr. Banerjee, and it proves too much even for so engaging an actor.[2]
