Cast

Critical reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A talkative, indifferently made little thriller, in which the characters behave in a most improbable way." Picturegoer wrote: "This run-of-the mill British crime melodrama is rescued from mediocrity by an above-average cast. Its story, which concerns a hunt for a missing will, employs all the old 'props,' but leading players Greta Gynt and James Hayter improvise effectively and enable it to spring a surprise ending." TV Guide called the film "Amusing at times but unmemorable." In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "mediocre", writing: "Very light comedy-drama; cast helps a little, not much."
