Reception

A review by Hal Erickson at AllMovie.com notes that "Frederick O'Neal, a leading light of African American theatre, is superb as a loquacious African UN delegate", and that "Neil Hamilton, onetime silent screen star and future Commissioner Gordon on TV's Batman, is surprisingly sinister as a pompous right-wing fanatic".[1]
