Critical reception
Film Weekly wrote: "Competently narrated and capably acted, this is an unassuming little picture that is quite sound entartainment of its type. ... Bernard Vorhaus has kept a firm control over the rather complicated threads of the story; and, as usual, his work is marked by intelligent touches that suggest he will one day make an outstanding film." [3]
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Suspense is well-maintained and the climax is thrilling. The acting generally is on a high level though opportunities in this type of plot are obviously limited. The direction is skilful and imaginative and the camera work is good." [4]
Variety wrote: "Godfrey Tearle makes a sincere, dignified figure as the psychoanalyst, with the rest of the characters well etched. Julien Mitchell hardly conveys the intense devotion to his wife which would warrant the jeopardizing of the lives of a number of people, but his moments of frenzy are real enough." [5]
The New York Times wrote, "there are some engaging directorial touches, and there is some excellent photography." [6]
Britmovie noted a "gripping low-budget b-movie portmanteau thriller featuring fast-cutting from director Bernard Vorhaus and impressive location shooting on the Great Western Railway." [7]
