Production
During filming, Bennett suffered an accident when she fell from a horse. Her recovery lasted several months, delaying the film's completion.[3]
Critical Response
"Director John Blystone, the technical departments and a competent cast," said Clara Sawdon, reviewer for International Photographer, "contribute everything possible to make this picture meritorious entertainment, but even such heroic efforts cannot make a story plausible or convincing when it is lacking in such essentials."[4]
