The Stage
★★★★ ½
“The marvellous sliding scenery and startling backdrops filling out the narrative passages really works. One loves the trains, the sinister moors and the humongous hound himself. And, of course, the essential curtain of fog that hangs around so much it almost deserved a place in the cast list.”
“Slick and creative”
“Plenty to giggle about”
