Reception
Kinematograph Weekly said: "Unhurried but reasonably well acted, it holds the interest even if it fails to chill the spine".[3]
Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "As a thriller this is poor, the successive interviewing of the suspects one by one inducing positive tedium. The film, however, has one bright aspect: the amusing caricature of girls' school life it provides."[4]
In British Sound Films David Quinlan describes the film as: "Verbose, monotonous whodunnit"[5]
