Critical reception
TV Guide wrote "The best thing about the film is some nice split-screen work, which has detective Arliss shaking the hand of politician Arliss."[5]
Cinema critic and historian, Tony Sloman for Radio Times said that "[the] film's stage derivation seeps through the whole enterprise, and the combination of Boys' Own heroics and the politics of war is as hard to take today as it probably was then. But Arliss was undeniably a star, and those who only know his historical roles may enjoy seeing him in a contemporary part."[6]
