Is the whole thing too exhausting? It's a question of how much you can take. We not only took it but found it most amusing.
Bosley Crowther, New York Times
Rotten
An interminable travelogue interspersed with sketches in which star-spotting affords some relief.
Tom Milne, Time Out

The movie has not aged well. To its credit, it is benign and charming, with an intoxicating musical score, compelling cinematography and a continually advancing locale.
