The film was made at Elstree Studios by British International Pictures.[2] It was one of a series of films made by the company featuring the popular stage entertainer Stanley Lupino. The film's art direction was by David Rawnsley.
TV Guide noted "a stiff opera-oriented production using Faust as a backdrop";[3] while britishfilmclassics.wordpress.com applauded "a highly entertaining performance by music hall star Stanley Lupino, who comes up with endless visual gags and one-liners."[4]
