Reception

Boxoffice wrote: "Producer-director Maury Dexter, working spiritedly from a Harry Spalding screenplay, has guided leading players Ken Scott and Merry Anders plus featured roster with some nicely inventive touches. Floyd Crosby's photographic effects, particularly at sca, are to be commended for obvious effort to stray from the tried-and-true water footage. As a disgruntled ex-diver out to make a tremendous killing, over the voluble protestation of beauteous spouse Miss Anders, Scott conveys an admixture of forceful adventurer and little-chap-against-the-world. More discriminating viewers will poke logical holes through the Spalding script and the Dexter direction."
