Reception
Ángel Fernández-Santos of El País pointed out that Cortés "dodges the brutal and bloodthirsty side" of the original subject, delivering a film "that borders on blandness but avoids it with cleverness and ease", also highlighting Ozores' "masterful" performance as a cheated wife.[3]
Mirito Torreiro of Fotogramas rated the film 3 out of 5 stars highlighting the Ozores vs. Coronado acting duel as the best thing about the film, while citing "a cowardly and predictable ending" as the worst thing about it.[8]
