Reception
At a preview screening in Paris, Variety long-time Paris correspondent Gene Moskowitz wrote that Hossein had "wisely not tried to emulate M and that the director "obviously has seen and assimilated many of these pix and does not imitate but takes the ideas and aspects of the times. But this only a moderate suspense item, which may be an okay play-off item on its theme, with arty chances broad chancey."
