Reception

The critic from the Sydney Morning Herald wrote that, "no thumb-screw or rack could have seemed more incredible than did the weapons in the verbal armoury of the interrogator, played so as to be fairly obviously diabolical by Christopher Hill... The camera circled and shifted as ominously as the dialogue; the shadows and iignts of William _Sterlins's production accentuated the probing nightmare; but in the end one was not quite sure how it all had happened."[2]
