Critical reception

A review in El Bien Público found that the production remained too close to the play and lacked proper cinematic features.

The film is also listed in the Cuadernos Hispanoamericanos as one of the "unnecessary" literary adaptations that Spanish and Argentine screenwriters wrote during the 1940s.
