Writing for Night and Day in 1937, Graham Greene gave the film (Squadrone Bianco)a good review, characterizing it as “odd and refreshing” for a “superficially melodramatic film”. Greene claims that the film is “a very slow picture”, but that in time the audience comes to recognize that “slowness is a value”, and he describes the photography as “unsensational and memorable”. Greene also praises the acting of Fulviá Lanzi.
