Incessant Cockney street market vignettes and shots of London buses seem to suggest that it was all primarily intended for American consumption anyway.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out
Fresh
A cozy, good-humored and unbelievable little tale.
Bosley Crowther, New York Times
Rotten
Well-meaning tripe.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader

Even the weak moments are saved by Poitier, who invests his role with a subtle warmth.
