Rating: 3/5 -- This movie might be accused of lacking any real sense of porpoise but Georges Delerue's score is a high point. Full Review

Some of the cloak-and-dagger stuff that follows is so awkwardly staged that it's difficult to know whether the simplicity was designed for youngsters or as parody.

Sight and Sound
Mar 1, 1974
An enjoyable curiosity that manages to combine elements of Flipper, Truffaut's Wild Child, Lad, A Dog and Executive Action with absolutely no fear of the consequences of such an antic concoction. Full Review
Los Angeles Free Press

A bizarre and often ridiculous attempt to merge documentary, suspense and comedy. Full Review
