Reception

Set magazine opined (translated from Spanish): "A book already taken to the international screen with other versions with famous interpreters. At this point it detracts from our values, whose effort would have been better applied to more attractive and more Argentinean themes". NG wrote that "It lacks sincerity, for not keeping the style demanded in such demonstrations, indispensable agility in movements, and in the handling of the sword."[2]
