Paramount International is mindful of the fact that the New York Daily Mirror called it "one of the finest television productions ever to grace the video waves"; the Daily News called it "A drama of searing emotion, a relentless account of the hunting down of a priest..." and said that it is "a presentation marked by Sir Laurence Olivier’s memorable performance"; and the New York Journal-American said that "in Laurence Olivier's role as the tragic priest it certainly had a fine, richly modulated powerful performance of a beautifully drawn role."
