Marriage of Convenience was the first of the Edgar Wallace series to be allocated to the Rank circuit for general release. It went out as support for Man in the Moon (1960) from January 15, 1961. == Critical reception ==

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Altogether a disappointing addition to Merton Park's new Edgar Wallace series, in that Clive Donner's surprisingly stiff, journeyman style of direction provides nothing to compensate for the generally amateurish level of performance and writing." Robert Murphy wrote: "Clive Donner's Marriage of Convenience and The Sinister Man are very stylish, and clearly marked him out for higher things." ==References==
