Critical reception
The Radio Times wrote, "as an example of gentlemanly espionage - which only Hitchcock broke with violent genius - it has no suspense, and even the charismatic Harrison exhibits little of his usual flair" ; [3] while The New York Times wrote, "preposterous as it is, Missing Ten Days is rattling good fun." [4]
