Critical reception
Monthly Film Bulletin said "A modest mystery thriller, competently made except for a few wild improbabilities in the plot and a five-figure London telephone number. There are good performances by Elwyn Brooke-Jones and Clifford Evans."[3]
The Radio Times Guide to Films gave the film 2/5 stars, writing: "After a string of supporting roles for Universal in the early 1950s, Alex Nicol earned a dubious promotion to leading man in this British thriller, co-starring Clifford Evans. Director John Gilling tries to push this tale of art theft and murder along at a decent pace, but spotting who framed Nichol's brother is hardly taxing."[4]
In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "average", writing: "Standard thriller, vigorously played."[5]
Sky Movies noted a "standard British thick-ear thriller of the Fifties ... Vigorous playing from a solid cast that includes Clifford Evans and Veronica Hurst sees the ingenuous story through."[6]
Releases
The film was released on DVD by Renown Pictures in 2013.
