« The movie is just plain funny. And as a parable it is timeless, with relevance at many times in many lands. Remarkable, how often when I learn of a bureaucratic brainstorm I think of the fireman moving the farmer's chair closer to the flames. » (Roger Ebert)
« Quietly, irresistibly funny in the early Forman manner (this was his first film in colour). » (Time Out Film Guide)
