Reception
Kine Weekly wrote: "Fascinating performance by Hugh Wakefield and good teamwork in a neat crook play... The story is perhaps a trifle fragmentary, but the many threads have been gathered up with a commendable skill by the producer."
The Daily Film Renter wrote: "Brilliant staging and generally polished production, with notable performance by Hugh Wakefield as the explorer, and Elsie Randolph as romantic telephone operator. Interesting but thin story, rather flat denouement, plenty of humour."
