Reception
Toronto's The Globe noted that the film "wove many new and modern angles into a strange gripping story."[5] It ran in that city from 29 July[5] to 4 August 1932 at Loew's,[6] and ran at other theatres including the Capitol,[7] Belsize,[8] and Lyndhurst from August to January of the next year.[9]
