Reception

A contemporary review in the Monthly Film Bulletin referred to the film as a "sluggish, run-of-the-mill affair which is weighed down by arguments, disputes and torturous double-crossings."^[5] The review concluded that "the script is naive, the colour print poor, and the whole thing takes an age to disentangle itself"^[5]
