The reception section can't seem to agree with whether it was well received or not. Several contemporary reviews seem to not think highly of the film, while the ever-present Rotten Tomatoes says it was well received. I'd suggest moving sections related to contemporary and retrospective reviews and let those reviews speak for themselves instead of suggesting any consensus among critics (especially a low number like 11 with Rotten Tomatoes).

I noticed one admittedly very minor goof. At the start, the newspaper headline says something like "Knight found dead on Dartmoor". However as his title of "sir" is clearly inherited, he must have been a baronet, not a knight. PatGallacher (talk) 00:58, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
