"only our second film – but good enough to be picked from among the whole of the entry in The Era Contest of 1932 to represent Great Britain in the International Contest, in which it took second prize… The film, which was but 180 feet in length, was an attempt to portray pictorially the workings of an unhinged mind; a subject, you will agree, that no professional could possibly exploit. The production was, maybe, a trifle crude – I would be the last to deny it – but at least the theme was original" (Mellor 1933: 102).
