“it is its virtue. and its purpose. not to impress or to be remarkable. only a nice mixture of color, joy, music,crumbs of comedy and lovely actors. and it is enough. a film of Ingrid Bergman. and Jean Marais. Mel Ferrer and Juliette Greco as perfect spice. and few adorable scenes. a film of romance, songs and joy. short, a Jean Renoir and piece of a long chain of period. an oasis. not complicated, not really bad, far to be boring. charming at whole. and, sure, full of lovely situations. a film who remembers a special lost sensitivity. and nothing more. because, as Disney creations, essence in this case is the spell. the delicate and precise magic. and mission is complete.”
