Reception[edit]
Writing for Night and Day in 1937, Graham Greene gave the film a mildly poor review, complaining primarily that the film "has a bad story - and a very obscure one". Greene described the film as formulaic in its presentation, however he conceded that "the picture is worth a visit for the final situation in a sunk submarine and for the acting of M. Harry Baur".[2]
