Critical reception
Kine Weekly wrote: "The plot, although somewhat extravagant, is tightly knit, and its characters are sharply drawn. The thrills, leavened by popular romance, spread evenly over its convenient running time, and the settings are colourful. ... The picture briskly moves in an authentic Paris environment and deploys its many characters astutely. John Bentley acquires a convincing American accent as the resourceful Mike, Martin Benson registers as Legrain, Nadja Regin is an attractive Marie, and Philip Friend wins some sympathy as the weak Eddie.
