Despite his late-career struggles, the film cemented Kennedy as one of the premier directors and film pioneers of his time. As one critic said, "Jack Kennedy could retire today and still have accomplished with one film what most directors would never accomplish with ten." Film Magazine ranked the movie as the #3 Best Movie of the 20th Century in its review of the 20th century's films in 2001.
