Critical reception

Sky Movies noted "Another dip into the Merton Park Studios filing cabinet that housed their short Scotland Yard mysteries, hosted by mournful-faced criminologist Edgar Lustgarten. The director is Ken Hughes, who briskly illuminates the case in question and was later to go to on bigger - if not better - subjects, including The Trials of Oscar Wilde and Mae West's last picture, Sextette."[3]
