“For the story which Herman J. Mankiewicz has written is the oldest sort of hat—the kind of dramatic farrago that was being played by faded stars ten years ago. And it has but the vaguest resemblance to the Somerset Maugham novel on which it is ‘based.’ […] As the piteously wronged young lady, Miss Durbin does all that she can to suggest an emotional turmoil. But her efforts are painfully weak.” – Rezension. In: The New York Times, 29. Juni 1944; abgerufen am 29. Januar 2013.
