"This film very much reminded me of the Ealing film Hue and Cry,particularly the way it exploited the London locations.Similarly the way in which the villain was trapped by a gang of children.Many German films were remade into English versions.So it is strange to see a dock in the police station,presumably this was copying thé scenery from thé German version.Some very surreal touches..."
