Reception

Noticias Gráficas opined: "An argument that rests on equivocation, but without adding any detail that differentiates it from the innumerable number of plays that frivolous theater counts in its copious credit." Raúl Manrupe and María Alejandra Portela in their book Un diccionario de films argentinos (1930–1995) write (translated from Spanish): "A simple comedy to take advantage of the success of the protagonist couple.".[2]
