The film features an early score from composer Andre Previn. Some of his themes and cues were reused in later MGM productions such as Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958 film), Designing Woman and North by Northwest.[2]
The careers of the director and supporting actor Lloyd Gough later suffered from blacklisting.[3][4]
