Although the lead roles were played by Hollywood actors Milland, Todd and Fitzgerald; each British-born star had made their mark first in their homeland. Critical reception Bosley Crowther in his review for The New York Times wrote, "Withal, there is too much confusion of a rather commonplace plot in the script prepared by Ronald Miller and Leonard Spigelgass. Too much time is wasted with tempting yet trivial details of a complex maneuver at extortion to maintain anxiety. So, by the time the poison is passing and the big retribution scenes set in, the audience is likely to be meandering down the street several blocks ahead of them." More recently, the TV Guide called it "... an intriguing film, although a little on the talky side. The performances are excellent throughout, with Milland shining as the cad, the type of role in which he excelled." Further, Jay Seaver at the eFilmCritic.com noted "... an enjoyably pulpy bit of gaslight crime"; and film critic Nick Beal atNoiroftheweek called it "incandescently splendid."
