Almost as if he were directing Pinter, Herbert Ross has actors speak a line, then wait two beats before delivering the next phrase. Technique smothers such ordinarily lively performers as Martin, Peters and Harper.

Pennies from Heaven is dazzling and disappointing in equal measure.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

he point is made endlessly, though it's in the film's favor that it's made with seriousness, consideration, and a certain amount of imagination.
