Critical reception

edit

Leonard Maltin described it as "low-budget suspenser unstrung backstage at burlesque theater";[4] while TV Guide called it "a standard programmer, racier than most of its type thanks to the burlesque setting. Nonetheless, the dialog and mystery are routine. Acting and production values are adequate for the material."[5]
