Reception※

Michael Brooke, "in his piece for the BFI's screenonline website," particularly commends Briers performance. His "Malvolio is a delight, segueing seamlessly from self-righteous pomposity at inappropriate revelry——to truly grotesque self-delusion as he proffers love——to his mistress while clad in yellow stockings".
