Reception
Kine Weekly wrote: "Crude, dishevelled costume piece ... hard to follow with the aid of a synopsis, let alone without, it has little to recommend it."
In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "mediocre", writing: "Cardboard historical drama."
Writing in The British 'B' Film, Chibnall and MacFarlane said: "The picture was ambitious in its French Revolutionary setting and its depiction of guillotine and tumbrel, but stolid in all other respects."
