Critical reception
TV Guide gave it two out of four stars, calling it an "average drama." while The List gave it three out of five stars, and wrote, "this tight, train-bound 1960 thriller has a lot to commend it...Gutsy (for its time) and very watchable." The film historians Steve Chibnall and Brian McFarlane say "it generates genuine suspense from a neatly plotted screenplay".
