Cast

, critic for The New York Times, gave the movie a mixed review, stating that Kelly's "performance is easily the outstanding one in this production, and singularly enough it is the first time that he has acted before the camera." Hall thought, however, that Dix gave "just another motion-picture performance" and the narrative was "stretched to the breaking point."
