Critical reception

In a contemporary review, The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote "Here is a film that ranks with the best we have ever produced.. The direction is excellent, the photography admirable, and the casting particularly good. There are some first-rate character studies from Mary Merrall as Mrs. Hard-castle, George Carney as Mr. Hardcastle, Frank Cellier as Sam Grundy, Martin Walker as Ned Markey, Maire O'Neill as Mrs. Dorbell, and Marie Ault as Mrs. Jike. Deborah Kerr makes an appealing Sally and is well partnered in Clifford Evans's Larry. Geoffrey Hibbert, a young new-comer to films, gives a remarkably good performance as Harry Hardcastle and is most ably supported by Joyce Howard as Helen Hawkins. The crowd scenes are worth watching. A good deal of care has been taken in their make-up and direction. The music by Richard Addinsell is worth noting, especially that which preludes the opening of the film."[3]
