Reception
A review in TV Guide describes the film as a "Brazilian quickie," with "an aging Donlevy wasted as a private eye from the States who is tracking a murderer. [...] Not an elegant way for Donlevy to wind down his career." A synopsis of the film at AllMovie describes the Donlevy character as a "gringo gumshoe."
