Reception

From contemporary reviews, David McGillivray reviewed an 88 minute dubbed version in the Monthly Film Bulletin. McGillivray stated that "Apart from one taut and reasonably well played sequence in which a woman-convinced that her husband is about to murder her on the operating table-pleads for understanding as she succumbs to the anaesthetic, this routine and underdeveloped thriller consists of little more than bits of badly tied wrapping." McGillivray also stated that the film had "expressionless dubbing".
