Critical receptionThe Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Spiced with maudlin sentiment on the one hand and a guest appearance by Tommy Steele on the other, this is a competent but unconvincing crime story. However odd the teaming of Pat O'Brien and Lois Maxwell, the playing is quite adequate."[2] The Radio Times called the film a "far-fetched B-movie ...Terence Fisher directs with little enthusiasm, but it's worth hanging in there to catch the debut of Tommy Steele."[3] In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "average", writing: "Sombre drama, adequately acted."[4] TV Guide wrote, "it's overplayed and melodramatic but has enough intrigue to make it watchable."[5] References
