Critical receptionTV Guide wrote, "The suspense is well built in this finely constructed feature":[3] while Sky Movies called it "An unheralded low-budget thriller which contains twice as much suspense as many more lavish productions. Taut, crisp, with a conspicuous absence of big name stars, it is a prime example of the British B-movie at its best. With a bit of Hitchcock here and a touch of Rififi there (a 15-minute sequence is acted in complete silence), the suspense is built up to a climax which leaves one hoping that just this once, crime will be allowed to pay." [4]It was one of 15 films selected by Steve Chibnall and Brian McFarlane in The British 'B' Film, their survey of British B films, as among the most meritorious of the B films made in Britain between World War II and 1970. They note that it was shot in just three weeks on a budget of £18,000 and describe it as "a film not just of suspense, but of real fascination".[5] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/33553|title=The Flying Scot (1958)|publisher=}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.allmovie.com/movie/mailbag-robbery-v100975|title=Mailbag Robbery (1957) - Compton Bennett - Synopsis, Characteristics, Moods, Themes and Related - AllMovie|publisher=}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.tvguide.com/movies/mailbag-robbery/review/105302/|title=Mailbag Robbery|publisher=}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.sky.com/tv/movie/the-flying-scot-1957|title=The Flying Scot|publisher=}} 5. ^Steve Chibnall & Brian McFarlane, The British 'B' Film, Palgrave Macmillan, London, 2009, pp. 270–71.
