Reception

The Christian Science Monitor called it "an inferior mystery story". Diabolique called it "a decent thriller notable for its weak leads, robust support cast and incorporation of location photography at Yellowstone National Park." Lubin called the film "horrible", one of what he considered the "eight flops" in his career. In Grand Design, Tino Balio writes that "set in the national park, [it] wastes its scenic opportunities through unconvincing rear projection and cramped studio shots unimaginatively directed by Arthur Lubin.
