Critical reception
[edit]The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "The story does not rise to tragic heights, but remains on the lower level of pathos. The characterisation is good; the bitterness of the older people is marked, but this is counterbalanced by the rough kindness of Jimmy Macgeean [sic] who helps the young couple in many ways. Cathleen Nesbitt gives an excellent performance as Margaret and the supporting cast is good."[3]
