Critical reception
A contemporary review in Variety described the film as "[f]actory product, but factory product of a successful kind," and noted that the film's [i]ntent is melodramatic, but the treatment is particularly smooth and innocent of overdone heroics without sacrifice of action" and that the "acting is engaging in its simplicity." [2] Writing in The New York Times, movie critic Andre Sennwald described the film as "a melodrama of definite interest," "a beguiling adventure" with a narrative that is "told with color, speed and reticence," and having a conclusion in which "Fay Wray cool[s] her sinful heels on a distant pier while the two men who perilously avoided her net plan to celebrate their good fortune in a quart of brandy."
