Reception



Film critic Bosley Crowther found nothing in the film that interested him, writing, "But all of the tedious maneuvering that Mr. Bridges does to recover his buried treasure, on which other criminals seem to have designs, is grimly routine and unexciting, and the pay-off, which clears up everything, is one of those fatuous fast shuffles that is acceptable only to our prim Production Code."[https://movies.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9C03E2DA123FE73ABC4151DFB066838A649EDE Crowther, Bosley]. 'The New York Times', film review, June 29, 1951. Accessed: August 10, 2013.
