A review in the Times of London from May 21, 1971 states: "In Paul Bowles in Morocco there is a clear and unequivocal hero―Paul Bowles. The director feeds him questions and provides some brilliantly captured scenes from Moroccan life which are brought in from the deserts and the markets as treasure to the court of Mr. Bowles. American writer in exile... and a most elegant anecdotalist. He carries the scent of the Paris of the '20s and '30s and later... this is a man who has something to say, and Gary Conklin, the director, has made it happen." |
