The Guardian Peter Bradshaw

It takes its audience on a dizzying swirl, like a waltz, or a champagne-induced headspin. Read full review

Noel Murray

The characters are sketchy by design, but the set design is wondrously opulent, and Ophüls cleverly picks up on Schnitzler's central theme, about how sexual desire erases class distinctions. Read full review

The Observer (UK) Philip French

This elegant, imperishable romantic comedy is lighter in tone than the play and has a haunting score by Oscar Strauss (no kin to the waltz family). Read full review

Walter Goodman

The performers are as seductive as the script. It's quite an affaire. Read full review

Josh Larsen

Ophuls’ technique is often on the nose, but it’s still exhilarating. Read full review

Don Druker

Max Ophuls’s witty version (1950) of Arthur Schnitzler’s play showing love as a bitterly comic merry-go-round. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

Ophuls has used a dearth of closeups, brilliant decor playing a vital part. Film gains an opulence in the expert lensing of Christian Matras. There is much filming through carved glass, linen, silks and mirrors to create the aura of romance. Read full review
