- "In his choice of Romy Schneider to portray the nubile princess, [the director] also has struck gold. A teenager herself, Fraeulein Schneider nevertheless reflects the experience gained through appearances in about a dozen other European films and the tutelage of her mother. Magda Schneider, the noted German actress, who also is featured as her lady-in-waiting."
