Reviews in German: «London 1890: Ein schon Jahrzehnte erprobter hoher Beamter von Scotland Yard verschuldet einen Justizmord und muss den Abschied nehmen. Er begeht ein perfektes Verbrechen an dem wirklichen Mörder, weil dieser die Hinrichtung eines Unschuldigen zuliess, und blamiert gleichzeitig den verhassten Amtsnachfolger durch eine irreführende Indizienkette, die beinahe zu einem weiteren Justizmord geführt hätte. Ein leiser Kriminlafilm ohne stichhaltige Kritik am Indizienbeweis; ganz auf die Sympathieführung für den alten Kommissar abgestellt.» (Lexikon des internationalen Films)

«Amüsante Story um ein ungleiches Paar und das "perfekte Verbrechen" Siegels erste Arbeit als Regisseur ist eine glänzend gespielte Krimi-Unterhaltung zum Thema Indizienbeweis.» (Lexikon TV-Video: 5000 Filme vorgestell)
