Murder in Reverse

Jill, who is in a relationship with junior reporter Peter Rogers, becomes involved in the case and believes Masterick is the victim of a miscarriage of justice, oblivious he is her real father.[7] The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Hartnell gives a good performance as Masterick, an essentially decent man whose life is ruined by a silly woman.They particularly highlighted the performances of Hartnell as "extraordinarily good as the betrayed husband", while noted other cast such as Slater, Sheridan and Bouchier as being "excellent".[10] The Middlesex Advertiser and County Gazette also praised the film highly, describing it as a "really first-rate adventure yarn filled with vivid characters brought to life by a lengthy cast of experienced British players".[11] It was considered a "good British film" by the Birmingham Post, who remarked that it was "a change to find a picture which has the courage to treat a serious matter seriously".
