Critical reception
'Sky Movies' noted "Another dip into the Merton Park Studios filing cabinet that housed their short Scotland Yard mysteries, hosted by mournful-faced criminologist Edgar Lustgarten. The director is Ken Hughes, who briskly illuminates the case in question and was later to go to on bigger - if not better - subjects, including 'The Trials of Oscar Wilde' and Mae West's last picture, 'Sextette'."
