Critical reception
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A complicated and episodic blend of sentiment and suspense, which fails in the latter aim through the confusion and number of its miniature dramas. The handling is somewhat crude, the acting variable, and it seems too much of a coincidence that the two reporters should be so extraordinarily fortunate as to find everyone they wish to interview in London." [3]
Kine Weekly wrote: "The tale has everything except comedy, but uneven acting and treatment makes it difficult to grasp, let alone follow, its many threads. ... The picture or, to be more precise, gallery of vignettes keeps the survivors' identity a secret until the end, yet fails to build up suspense. Pauline Yates is a likeable Jenny; Richard Wyler registers as John; and Valentine Dyall's not too bad as Ambrose, but the others aren't much cop. The script creates an air of expectancy at the start, but conflicting cross-currents cause it to "pancake". It has little emotional lift." [4]
