Doesn't quite rate lost-classic status, but it's done with a great deal of dexterity, intelligence and an appealing end-of-'50s cool.
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

The rerelease of Classe Tous Risques makes you wonder how many other movies this good got scuttled by the French new wave.
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press

Even though the film isn't considered a rule-breaking classic, its straight face holds up quite nicely, thank you.
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe

To come across Classe Tous Risques is like discovering a bottle of marvelous French wine you didn't remember you had, opening it and finding it every bit as delicious as its reputation promised.
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
