Reception

Manrupe and Portela wrote: "Poorly filmed, it is one of those missteps by Mario Soffici"; "but, nevertheless, it shows a glimpse of rebellion towards the elders and an unconventional ending for the time".^[2] The film was also described as the first that is alien to the director's cinematic conceptions.^[3]

The film received positive reviews in El Orden [es] and Critica [es].^[4][5]
