Production
It was based on a 1965 novel by Brian Healey called Waiting for a Tiger. The New York Times said "the action is incessant and well varied."[3] It was the first in a series of novels by Healey about Paul Hedley.
The film was a co production between Group W and Trio Films, for whom Don Sharp had previously made The Violent Enemy.
Reception
The Monthly Film Bulletin called it "a standard mystery adventure."[4]
gollark: The code may be slightly inelegant, but it isn't considered "bad".

gollark: Oh, our obliterators modify causal graphs directly, so none are safe.
gollark: Jeffrey Frank Karlson.
gollark: Don't worry, we have preemptive obliterator obliteration obliteration obliteration set up.
