Marghanita Laski was deeply displeased by this film of her well-known novel, whose protagonist is an English poet, not an American journalist. She had sold the film rights on the understanding that John Mills would star in a British film version, but, by the time a film was actually made, the rights had changed hands and she could do nothing to prevent what she saw as a travesty. She particularly disliked the fact that Bing Crosby sang in the film, even though it was advertised as his first dramatic role.
Originally a live play (with a different cast) presented on the "Philco Television Playhouse".
Final film of Yola d'Avril .
Paramount Pictures production number 11494.
