Reception
Film Weekly wrote: "Well told, apart from one or-two weak touches, and well acted. Quite good entertainment."
Kine Weekly wrote: "Crook drama, which, after opening a little flatly, develops into a picture with very good situations, holding interest through to the end. . thoroughly worth-while British picture."
