Critical reception
[edit]The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "In the context of the cinema of crime and horror and cynicism and galloping horses, it is refreshing to find an old-fashioned piece of sentimental novelette as frank as this. It is a pity there is not more to praise though than its intentions. The direction is mechanical, the romance desultory, and the players (apart from the coloured ones, who steal the show) just not good enough."[3]
