ProductionThe filmwas made at Southall Studios with sets designed by the art director Scott MacGregor. Critical receptionThe Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Unpretentious East-West espionage story in a continental setting. The locale and atmosphere are fairly convincing and the plot is adequately sustained, but credibility is ignored towards the end, when a prowler is loose in the well-guarded grounds and, although armed with a rifle with telescopic sights, fails to kill at twenty yards range."[3]
TV Guide wrote, "the intriguing story suffers from inefficient production techniques."[5] References
