Critical reception


Picturegoer wrote: "The story ... is conventional enough but it is treated without hysterics. Yet it manages to put over quite a reasonable thrill. The acting of the cast as a whole is quite competent."
Picture Show wrote: "It is neatly directed, with the accent on suspense and character rather than noise and speed, and excellently acted."
The Radio Times gave the film one out of five stars, writing: "Hugh Moxey made his screen debut in a feeble story."
Sky Movies gave the film two out of five stars, noting a "a brisk, no-nonsense film version of one of Gale Pedrick's popular stories."
TV Guide called it "competent enough."
Leslie Halliwell said: "Elementary programme filler from a radio story."
In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "average", calling it a "servicable, no-frills version of popular radio serial."
