Critical reception
Kine Weekly wrote: "This taut mystery featurette, the latest of the highly popular real life Scotland Yard series, shows how the police unravelled a particularly tricky muider case, involving a blind man and a woman Judo expert. Edgar Lustgarten, the BBC authority, explains salient issues, and the Right Honourable Sir Travers Humphries, a former judge, gives his opinion on the finer points of law. Their contributions underline the thrills realistically presented, and put the seal on first-class crime reporting. Very good quota."[5]
Sky Movies noted "Another dip into the Merton Park Studios filing cabinet that housed their short Scotland Yard mysteries, hosted by mournful-faced criminologist Edgar Lustgarten. The director is Ken Hughes, who briskly illuminates the case in question and was later to go to on bigger - if not better – subjects, including The Trials of Oscar Wilde and Mae West's last picture, Sextette."[6]
