Reception
From a contemporary review, David Badder wrote in the Monthly Film Bulletin that the film was "slowly paced and directed with no commitment to character or theme, it is difficult to detect any compelling motive behind Prisoner of Passion." Badder continued that "the sex scenes remain wholly unerotic because their premise, that ALice uses her worldliness to overcome and then exploit the innocent peasant, is insufficiently defined."
