Critical reception

Film critic Dennis Schwartz wrote, "Britisher Peter Godfrey...directs this inert and overwrought crime/melodrama that never gets over being stagy despite the teaming of Humphrey Bogart and Barbara Stanwyck. There's almost no action, the dialogue is from hunger, and the familiar plot has been better done in many other films...This film never had much of a chance from the beginning. Only Alexis Smith's performance as the scheming other woman was pleasing." [ [http://www.sover.net/~ozus/twomrscarrolls.htm Schwartz, dennis] .
