A surprise hit for lower-rank "B" studio Monogram Pictures (as an Allied Artists Pictures release), this made a big profit for the company and was one of Hollywood's most profitable films of 1947.
The Art Deco (or Streamline Moderne) early digital clock on Shubunka's bedside table is a "Zephyr" model from Lawson Time, Inc. of Pasadena, California, made from 1937 into the 1950s. These clocks are highly prized and are featured in the collections of many museums (such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York City) as an icon of that style. Depending on the finish and the condition, these clocks can be worth several hundred to well over a thousand dollars.
Belita, the British Olympic ice skating queen, was, with this picture, Monogram's highest paid performer, even though this was her only role for them.
Filmed entirely on studio sound stages to save on the higher expense of location shooting (except for the b-roll of the train and beach).
