More dispiriting than the ingenuous hero's three or four mannerisms (an apprehensive glance, a tug at the underpants, an empty grin) is the misguided enthusiasm displayed by both old and new hands."<ref>{{Cite journal |date=1 January 1976 |title=Confessions of a Driving Instructor |url=https://www.proquest.com/docview/1305826910 |journal=[[The Monthly Film Bulletin]] |volume=43 |issue=504 |pages=189 |id={{ProQuest|1305826910}} |via=ProQuest}}</ref>
