REVIEWS
"The tension is terrific and the melodramatic action is wild as the blind woman uses all her courage in ingenuity to foil her assailants and save her life."
— Bosley Crowther, NEW YORK TIMES
"Excellent suspense drama . . . literate, intriguing screenplay . . . Miss Hepburn conveys superbly the combination of helplessness and sense acuity sometimes found in the blind . . . even sophisticated audiences will find themselves gasping, cheering and clapping (at the end)."
— ‘Murf,’ VARIETY
"Corpses litter the premises (until) finally the terror-stricken Miss Hepburn must match cunning with the murderous Arkin, who adds a touch of grisly humor to his portrayal. It should be mentioned that there is one final horrendous moment to make the whole audience scream at once. The trick works perfectly. The screech from my audience was deafening."
— Hollis Alpert, SATURDAY REVIEW
