Reception

A review in the Lexikon des internationales Films stated: "A comedy attempt that seeks to parody the success of the film Stefanie (1959); however, the director's irony remains vague and fades into banality."^[2]

Cinema considered that the film was a "completely banal My Fair Lady rip-off."^[3]
