According to one obituary, he was "a prime exponent of that style, being a master of swift exposition and fast action. His no-nonsense approach also made him a fine serial director, and when given the chance of a top-budget adventure film he gave his studio one of its biggest hits in Arabian Nights." Another said he "was a prime example of a no-frills director of Bs, who got his job done quickly, competently and cheaply."
