Reception
The film was favourably reviewed by Pauline Kael in 'The New Yorker': "The whole film is designed as a collection of little routines. 'Jonah' is so ingeniously constructed that one can enjoy it the way one enjoyed Renoir's egalitarian films of the thirties, relating to each character in turn."Pauline Kael When The Lights Go Down p.179-183
The film was selected as the Swiss entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 49th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.Margaret Herrick Library, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences
