Reception

Chibnall and McFarlane in The British 'B' Film wrote that Dilemma was: "a disaster that finally closed ACT films and tarnished its reputation for producing servicable works of modest quality," adding that "Dilemma never achieved theatrical production in Britain but was sold to television".[3]
