The film's sets were designed by the art director Peter Mullins.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Smooth staging, a straightforward whodunit plot line, a touch of humour and a strong cast headed by Bernard Lee's painstaking police investigator make this one of the better Edgar Wallace thrillers."[4]
