"A very satisfying and often unpredictable movie about British movie-making, far more honest than most, and something of a Star Is Born in reverse. Rodney Ackland was a prolific British actor, writer, playwright and director both on stage and screen, whose ongoing love for the movies (which included a brief association with Griffith on the British remake of Broken Blossoms) never materialised into a full-fledged movie career. This production, wholly his, and the film he expected to establish him, was partially sabotaged by drastic budget cuts and a lack of exploitation when it was finished." --W.K.E.
