Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Joan Fontaine made this between Oscar-winning 'Suspicion' and 'Rebecca,' essentially slumming in B-pictures despite her A-list status. The film was independently produced by Bryan Foy, who specialized in 'social problem' quickies.
Released months before the infamous 'Hollywood Ten' blacklisting began, this was director John Berry's last American film for decades—he fled to France rather than name names.
