Releases
Man in Tangier was cut by the British Board of Film Classification to 67 minutes running time, in order to achieve a "U" classification. The film premiered at Odeon Marble Arch in London on 27 January 1957, where it ran as a double bill together with Monkey on My Back (1957).

In April 2011 the film was released on DVD as a double bill together with director Lance Comfort's 1961 film The Breaking Point.

Critical reception
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A fairly competent thriller, in which the upholders of the law are considerably more convincing than the crooks, with their alternating foreign and public-school accents. The story is very vaguely constructed; initially there seems very little reason for introducing Tangier; towards the end the action is almost incoherent."
