Reception
In the New York Daily News, critic Dorothy Masters wrote: "A second generation of movie-makers is represented in 'Mr. Walkie Talkie.' ... There is not much indication that the movies are growing up, however. ... The comedy is as broad as the screen will accommodate and is highlighted by the non-com's acquisition of a duck."[2]
