Critical reception


TV Guide gave it two out of four stars, calling it an "average drama."[5] while The List gave it three out of five stars, and wrote, "this tight, train-bound 1960 thriller has a lot to commend it...Gutsy (for its time) and very watchable."[6] The film historians Steve Chibnall and Brian McFarlane say "it generates genuine suspense from a neatly plotted screenplay".[7]
