...each character's inner wound, however honestly representative, is dramatically a little commonplace. There is no enveloping mood to the play because there is recurrent parlor comedy and domestic vaudeville-things that instead of deepening the serious scenes emphasize them too much by contrast. Deeper chords never sound. The dark is there, truly enough; but it is much less terrifying, and even much less dark, from being so studiously spotlighted...
Responsibility. The Gannett papers, nonetheless, share distinct family traits that go beyond sound management or geographical proximity. (Except for Illinois' Danville Commercial-News, New Jersey's Plainfield Courier-News and the Hartford Times, all are published in New York cities and small towns.) Conservative in news judgment as in politics, they have little use for exposes, play down stories of sex and crime.

A troubadour's mandolin sounds a little sour: Is love being mocked? A saraband starts up, accompanied by a simulated harpsichord: Are the ghosts of vanished dancers...
...sound has been dubbed in and subtitles abandoned, which in this case does not prove to be a very happy means of transcending the language barrier. The actors mouth one thing and the sound track disconcertingly says another. As well, much of the flavor and local color of the film is lost by translation. The voice dubbed in for Marcelino is obviously that of an adult. The music is however delightful and appropriate...
