Olivia Fried as Eveline brings a certain charm, while Valerie Boothby’s detective role adds a layer of intrigue that keeps things interesting. The pacing feels a bit erratic at times, but it serves the film's playful tone. You have this delightful mix of physical comedy and some clever situational setups, which definitely stand out for its time. It's the kind of film that leaves you with a smile, even if it has a few hiccups.

The film has had limited availability over the years, with most collectors noting scarcity in decent copies, especially in original prints.
