Review[]

The reviewer for Kine Weekly wrote: "The tale is a bit involved but the characters, adequately portrayed, are briskly shuffled, its light relief is apt, the romantic asides are agreeable, and it ends on a lively, if hardly unexpected, note. What’s more, the backgrounds are authentic. Safe quota 'second'."^[4]

DVD release[]

The film was released under the name of Murder on the Campus on DVD in the UK in October 2013, in a two-film collection with the thriller, Final Appointment (1954).
