D. P. Cole's review and rating:
It's rather interesting to note that Sheldon Leonard himself is a guest star in this story. He's not bad, either... This story also takes a couple of acts before it goes full-throttle. Mostly it's for plot build-up, but I feel there's no real conviction on the part of the actors; they are just going through their lines. Once act three starts, the story comes alive and vibrant. Despite some memorable scenes, this ends up as a run-of-the-mill story which had tremendous potential, but didn't fully deliver. Still, there is enough to give this story a high rating. Why not see it for yourself and decide?
Rating: 7/10
