Cast

Reception

Kine Weekly wrote: "Hard-boiled melodrama. ... The leading characters take it as well as dish it out; night club divertissement punctuates the rough stuff; and its salutary and spectacular climax is clear proof that crime doesn't pay. Good British "second".[3]

In British Sound Films David Quinlan writes: "Second-feature is better than it sounds, holds the attention."[4]
