The plot turns upon a lost diamond of great price, but mostly the film is a string of lively, unrelated escapades.

TIME Magazine
Rating: C --
The film is let down by a script that could never draw out its characters and make its predictable story build to anything more than what's anticipated.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
A thrilling and wholesome adaptation with Granger at his debonair best.

Film4
With mood and action the keynote of the John Houseman production, the direction by Fritz Lang plays both hard, developing considerable movement in several rugged action sequences without neglecting suspense.

Rating: 2/4 --
A rare misfire for the great Fritz Lang.

Film Frenzy
Moonfleet is definitely one of the most visually striking films of Lang's American career, and more satisfying than a number of other more characteristic entries in his filmography.

Senses of Cinema
But, golly, that screen play by Jan Lustig and Margaret Fitts is a thoroughly boneless thing -- a hodgepodge of odd and sprawling incidents without dramatic continuity or sense!

Description by OLDIES.com:
Adventure and intrigue await all ye who venture into the small and sinister village of Moonfleet on the windswept moors of Dorsetshire. Here, young John Mohune (Jon Whiteley) arrives at his ancestral estate, now owned by the dashing, and mysterious Jeremy Fox (Stewart Granger). Out of love for the boy's mother, but against his better judgment, Fox grudgingly allows John to stay. He soon becomes attached to the boy, but his devotion is tested when John discovers a hidden smugglers' lair beneath the village graveyard and learns a shocking secret that could cost both him and Fox their lives.
