Critical reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "The doggedly inept line of investigation followed by the police, and the idea of a lynch mob in rural England, are just two factors which rob this routine crime story of all conviction and suspense. The weak plot is given flat direction and stolid acting, and only the backgrounds arouse some slight degree of interest."[2]
