After bad reviews in The New York Times, Time, and Newsweek, a 9,000-word rave by Pauline Kael, who was just starting her career as a film reviewer, turned things around for the film. When The New Republic refused to print the lengthy review, she sold it to The New Yorker, which marked the start of her long tenure there. According to rumor, she also got Joe Morgenstern to reevaluate the film in Newsweek. After initially panning the film, he reported that he had totally missed the point, and gave it a rave.
