Review Quotes: "A lovely tender drama... Strange how the shining spirit of a young girl now dead can filter down through the years and inspire a group of theatrical professionals in a foreign land." - The New York Times
"The precise quality of the new play at the Cort is the quality of glowing, ineradicable life--life in its warmth, its wonder, its spasms of anguish and its wild and flaring humor... Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett have fashioned a wonderfully sensitive and theatrically craftsmanlike narrative out of the real-life legacy left us by a spirited and straightforward Jewish girl... as bright and shining as a banner." -The New York Herald-Tribune
