Frank S. Nugent: THE SCREEN IN REVIEW; 'Midnight,' With Don Ameche and Claudette Colbert, Strikes a Seasonal High in Comedy at the Paramount--'Within the Law' at the Criterion Theatre. In: The New York Times. 6. April 1939 (englisch, online [abgerufen am 13. März 2017]): “[…] one of the liveliest, gayest, wittiest and naughtiest comedies of a long hard season. Its direction, by Mitchell Leisen, is strikingly reminiscent of that of the old Lubitsch. Its cast […] is in the best of spirits. […] Most of the credit, of course, belongs to Miss Colbert. She has superb command of the comic style […].”
