Cast

Critical reception
  • TV Guide wrote, "(Audrey) Long proves to be quite convincing as the tough lass who won't let herself be pushed around. Plot as a whole is weak, but the direction keeps up a suspenseful pace."[3]
  • Noir of the week.com called it "a very enjoyable quick paced timewaster!"[4]
