A glossy and very silly period costume piece.

Time Out
Rating: C --
A silly, forgettable sex comedy that is a star vehicle for Sophia Loren.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Rating: 4/5 --
Whatever the causes of the minor disatisfactions inherent in this film, its major rewards are due to Peter Ustinov's sensitive conception and superb direction.

New York Times
Gary and Ustinov fail to be bogged down by the story's inherent banalities because they are quite outside it and its limitations.

The Spectator
Rating: C --
An artistic and commercial flop in which both Paul Newman and Sophia Loren are miscast.

Experiment of starting and ending this pic with Sophia Loren as an 80-year-old, an alleged aristocrat with a somewhat simpering tedious voice, doesn't come off.

This is one of those cute little films made by a cute little cadre of actors with nothing much else to do.

TV Guide
Description by OLDIES.com:
Sophia Loren plays Louise, a simple laundress in a Paris bordello who, through a series of wildly unpredictable twists and turns of plot, ends up as the feared, revered -- and bogus -- Lady Lendale. Paul Newman delivers a puckish performance as Armand, her anarchist lover, as deft with a bomb as he is with a kiss. David Niven lends just the right touch of sadness to his portrayal of the charmingly roguish Lord Lendale.
