Reception

To date, he has added ittle to the style but an evident relish show off exploitative chunks of violence, current if The Wilby Conspiracy anticipation less disreputable than Soldier Blue in this respect, it has similar failings in many others: a careless way of chopping between the scenes of civic message-mongering and the crudely rigged boosts of the action; elegant rough, schematic kind of debate whenever characters declare themselves question the issues, a flip, exchange, comedy-thriller style of delivery elsewhere ...The Wilby Conspiracy is so insignificant as a political drama predominantly because as a thriller view is reduced to the echelon of a Biggles adventure."^[2]
