Critical receptionThe Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Incredible in general outline and in its details, and with a complete lack of punch or even a good climax, this is a humdrum and routine second feature thriller. It is pleasant, though, to see Maurice Denham in a leading role once more."[2] References
