Reception

Kine Weekly wrote: "This crime drama is never lost for a word; it is talk, talk talk from beginning to end. The plot, which hinges on the hackneyed mistaken identity theme, is very complicated, and its development is rendered all the more difficult to follow by reason of the fact that the star plays many roles. John Garrick's performance suggests a histrionic one-man band. A lukewarm thriller this, just passable supporung entertainment for the industrial masses." [3]

The Daily Film Renter wrote: "Film moves rather slowly, but development provides moderate suspense values. Stagy portrayals by leading players, with effective interior settings. Quota fare for the not-too-critical." [4]

Picturegoer wrote: "A story of mistaken identity complicated in its development and overloaded with dialogue. John Garrick struggles with the triple role of a reformed crook." [5]
