Short summary

Screen debut of Robert Donat.

The first film of Patric Knowles.

One of the "75 Most Wanted" films listed by the British Film Institute as "Missing, believed lost".

The film encountered censorship problems in the U. S. and had 25 minutes cut out of it. It was not seen in the States until 1935, largely because of the growing popularity of Oberon and Donat.

This film is one of over 200 titles in the list of independent feature films made available for television presentation by Advance Television Pictures announced in Motion Picture Herald 4 April 1942. At this time, television broadcasting was in its infancy, almost totally curtailed by the advent of World War II, and would not continue to develop until 1945-1946. Because of poor documentation (feature films were often not identified by title in conventional sources) no record has yet been found of its initial television broadcast. It's earliest documented telecast was Tuesday 2 November 1949 on WPIX, New York City.
