“The fantastic virtue of the comedy was that there was plenty of mischief going on. But in the motion-picture version […] there isn’t even that virtue to sustain a virtually non-existent plot. […] Their acting […], under Mark Robson’s ponderous direction, […] comes out witless and dull. […] The whole thing, indeed, is so clumsy that it fogs the bad taste of the film.”Bosley Crowther: ‘The Little Hut’; 3 on an Island Plus No Mischief Equals O The Cast. In: The New York Times, 4. Mai 1957.
