Critical reception

edit

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A contrived melodrama made all the more unconvincing by mediocre performances. Martha Hyer in particular is unequal to the demands of her part. Vernon Sewell's direction is quite without style."[2]

Leonard Maltin gave the film two stars, calling it an "Unexciting suspenser."[3]
