Critical receptionThe film was coldly received. TV Guide wrote, "Oh where is Sherlock Holmes when you need him? Poorly made with a dopey script that gives the actors little room to breathe, let alone act."[4] References1. ^http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/42234 2. ^{{cite web|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Yyqc0Qa6b60C&pg=PA86&lpg=PA86&dq=archer%20plus%2020%20by%20hugh%20clevely&source=bl&ots=K9-nwUrYy6&sig=zTxQQ0UMRjOVV0bh1Xv34J-DzYU&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjY6o7727TQAhWHKcAKHT88DPAQ6AEIHTAA#v=onepage&q=archer%20plus%2020%20by%20hugh%20clevely&f=false|title=The Complete Index to Literary Sources in Film|first=Alan|last=Goble|date=1 January 1999|publisher=Walter de Gruyter|via=Google Books}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.allmovie.com/movie/maxwell-archer-detective-v101922|title=Maxwell Archer, Detective (1939) - John Paddy Carstairs - Synopsis, Characteristics, Moods, Themes and Related - AllMovie|publisher=}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.tvguide.com/movies/maxwell-archer-detective/review/105844/|title=Maxwell Archer, Detective|publisher=}} External links
