## Reception

El Heraldo del Cinematografista stated: "It is regrettable that the intrigue, not very original but with many possibilities, suspenseful, was not given more prominence in the concern of constantly achieving realistic effects, particularly in charge of Alfredo Barbieri." On the other hand, the critic Manuel Rey (known as King) said: "It achieves...its purpose of making people laugh."
