Critical reception
The Radio Times wrote, "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."; while 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."
