...chaos, and the brevity of each segment of the picture, are part of the reason why love emerges from this picture as a frail, hollow, unexciting animal. It takes time to develop the conditions for love, either in life or cinema, and the lack of time, combined with sudden switches in circumstances, countries, and mood, weaken the potential power of this film...

In Buber's case, the harvest includes a goodly share of the honors the world pays to a man who has thought deeply and originally.

...towns folk tiresomely stock and sappy (the female romantic lead is called "the Romantic Lead"), perhaps for good reason, but with--as some weary old cur might say in the Trib--exceedingly mixed results. The players therefore have burdensome problems of pace and timing thrust on their somewhat frail shoulders, which either Mr. Morey or his director (was there a director?) ought to have lightened. Lovely Susan Schwartz as the Romantic Lead struggles womanfully but neither she nor Mr. Morey (who plays her opposite number--that is, Her Opposite Number) makes out very well...
