Reception

Variety said "Most of the large cast play their roles broadly with a hint that they’re enjoying the excursion into make-believe...Seymour Friedman directed at a fast clip. Camerawork of Philip Tannura was good, especially in the action sequences, while producer Wallace MacDonald squeezed ample values out of his low budget."^[2]
