This little 73 minute boxing yarn was deemed so unimportant at MGM that they released it throughout the country on double-bills and and in drive-ins.
This film failed at the box office, resulting in a loss to MGM of $189,000 (about $2.22M in 2024) according to studio records.
To save money, MGM shot this picture using Ansco Color film, as it was less expensive than Kodak, and especially Technicolor film. It was produced by the German company Agfa. The studio used it from 1949 to 1956 when the company stopped making this motion picture film stock.
