When RKO re-released this in 1947, they cut it down from 95 minutes to 80 minutes, for more convenient double-billing, a typical practice at that time, especially for RKO. For years, Turner Classic Movies showed the 80-minute version. On May 8, 2021, TCM premiered the restored and remastered version that added the missing 15 minutes. This uncut and 4K remastered version was released on BluRay on May 11, 2021.
Verna's (Susan Hayward) house that she shares with her friend, is recognizable as the same one that Lawrence Tierney's character and his unfortunate companions roll into for the final act of The Devil Thumbs a Ride (1947), also produced by RKO that same year.
Director Irving Pichel, himself an actor, has a cameo as a courtroom spectator.
RKO borrowed Susan Hayward from Walter Wanger's company for this film. RKO delayed the production of this film for 12 days so she could finish Wanger's Une vie perdue (1947).
Completed in 1946, but not released until mid-1947.
