Critical reception
Film critic Hal Erickson wrote that the film was "a neat-and-tidy thriller from the Republic B-picture mills."[2]
gollark: Hmm, okay then. As in, a big dropoff right after that happened, or just a general decline around the same time?
gollark: You seem to think that laws drive social attitude change. I think it's somewhat the other way round.
gollark: You should say it that way initially then. It's clearer.
gollark: I mean, "the enemy is the self" seems like "do the opposite of what's good for you" read literally, thus bad.
gollark: Yeees, literally speaking it seems like a bad principle.
