Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. sakana1 – ★★★★
   “This film is lighthearted even by Weimar musical comedy standards. An absolute lark that turns into a joyous farce by the end, complete with fourth-wall-breaking and an operetta-style finale.”

2. Dr. Ethan Lyon – ★★★★
   “My god, this was so fun! This was the most popular film in Germany in 1930, even more so than The Blue Angel, and I can completely understand why.”

3. Benjamin Goff – ★★★★★
   “Utterly delightful! It’s fascinating to see how much influence German musicals had on Hollywood musicals in the 1930s.”
