Critical reception
TV Guide wrote, "routine stuff, just as unimaginatively done here as it was in the 1932 film of the same name" ;[3] while Blueprintreview wrote, "to be honest, the story isn’t particularly sophisticated, especially not by today’s standards, but it manages to entertain and hold the attention, even if some of the dialogue feels very unreal – I’m sure police and criminals of that time didn’t speak as posh as they do here!"
