  • Reception

    Reviews for the film were mixed. Its "worst criticism" is that "it is not a thriller, nor a spectacle. Neither is it a heavy digest of a weighty social or economic problem. It is just a simple story of every day people, told in simple, direct continuity, intelligently and coherently."

    Scenes involving a hanging and a shoot-out were recommended for removal when showing the film to family audiences.
