Reception

The Sydney Morning Herald TV critic said "An Australian play which reaches a competent level of writing, production and acting, is enough of a rarity to encourage a lenient salute to The Man Who Saw It," adding, "there were many well made small points in this well-filled hour about a fledgling political candidate who refuses to be putty in the hands of party schemers."
