Reception
Kine Weekly wrote: "If most of the dialogue had been rubbed out of the first half of this picture and had Susan Bligh's activities been considerably curbed, it would have stood an excellent chance of making the grade, for there is no denying that the story is written to deceive, and in deceiving, thrill. What might have been, however, is no concern of the public; what is, lacks that kick essential to mass appeal."[3]
Picturegoer wrote: "A crime drama of the 'can-you-guess-the-end?' variety which contains plenty of ingenuity. It fails, however, to score a bull on the target of success and, being unable to register more than an 'outer,' cannot be considered anything approaching a winner."[4]
