| The SpectatorIsabel QuiglyThe effort to bring out the tough variety of place and class and feature is something that wants applauding even when it only half succeeds. |
| Monthly Film BulletinMFB CriticsLee-Thompson's direction, less happy in the early scenes of murder and first encounter, is otherwise craftsmanlike, with a good use of locations and above all a firm feeling for outcasts and foreigners, their solidity and their background. |

| User ReviewSarah BThe best Hayley Mills film, no comparison. She always was better at playing tomboys. Horst Buchholz (Magnificent Seven) is tragic, charming and utterly gorgeous all at the same time. For those who fell for the Hollywood bad boy rebels such as James Dean, Marlon Brando and Steve McQueen should watch this film. I love how John Mills (Hayley's dad) seems to be in awe of his daughter in some scenes. This is an utterly utterly utterly brilliant film. |
| User ReviewMaurice PAmazing performance by young Haley Mills in this completely unpredictable drama. Horst Buchholz is stunningly gorgeous! Don't miss this excellent oldie! |
| User ReviewMichael TThis film is absolutely magnificent. The period is captured perfectly in authentic black-and-white. The on-location shooting is now, itself, a historical document in its own right. The characters are totally believable and portrayed to perfection by the faultless and charismatic actors: Horst Buchholz, Hayley Mills and her father John Mills. Each of these produces a performance as good as any that they had produced or were ever to produce. Not one of these three could be said to be the principal actor or to outshine the others. Despite the fact that this was the first time Hayley was to appear in a film, it was certainly no amateur, novice or childish performance; the degree of maturity is unbelievable and itself a thing at which to marvel. Horst Buchholz manages to show to perfection a character of greatly mercurial temperament, ranging from great anger to great tenderness in seconds - a truly outstanding piece of acting and his is a character with which the viewer finds himself/herself sympathising completely. Altogether, this is a film to treasure and to see time and time again. |

| User ReviewNadeem AJ.Lee Thompson's sumptuously romantic look at childhood, seen in part through the eyes of a seven year old Gillie Evans (Hayley Mills) and played to perfection with a good line-up of British actors from the 50's (including Hayley's father Sir John Mills, Meg Jenkins and Yvonne Mitchell). The story revolves around the witnessing of a murder in the Cardiff docklands. The haunting images are given their maximal effect through a Kaleidoscope of black and white cinematography. Highly Recommended. |
| User ReviewJoe BSuperior British kitchen-sink thriller, very underrated. Beautifully photographed. Should be seen more. |
