      Los Angeles Times

      A terrific campy wallow from 1964 starring Bette Davis as twins. And double the Davis means double the fun. [08 Aug 2004, p.E14]

      The New York Times

      Uncommonly silly little film, but it is great fun to watch.

      Slant Magazine

      The film, meekly directed far across the soundstage by former actor Paul Henreid, is a potboiler filled with oh-so-convenient plot twists and purely incidental characterizations.

      Davis has a chance to let it all hang out in the two roles and she does.
