"David Swift, whose writing, direction and appreciation of young Hayley Mills' natural histrionic resources contributed so much to Pollyanna, repeats the three-ply effort on this excursion, with similar success."

Variety

"Surprisingly, the film is delightful-mostly because of 15-year-old Hayley Mills, the blonde button nose who played the endearing delinquent in Tiger Bay."
