"In the cast of 25," a reviewer in Billboard wrote of a 1947 Paris production of Le Sexe Faible (The Weaker Sex), "acting honors belong almost exclusively to Alfred Adam, who plays Antoine, the ubiquitous maitre d'hotel, with a remarkable balance of caricature and seriousness It a character worth of Moliere. Played with Adam's sureness and dexterity, it remains unforgettable."
