In one of her last performances, Jill Esmond does an excellent job in both the domestic drama aspect of this movie, and in the borough council scenes at the center of the "social problem" aspect. Of these two, there is nothing surprising or unpredictable about the former, but the latter is well done. The writer is clearly more interested in the psychology of the pompous and entitled officials and providing both an anatomy of public corruption, and a view of how it can be countered. As a result, the film is didactic but enjoyable.
