Jane Greer got the role after Marlene Dietrich turned it down.
Exteriors were filmed in Sedona, Arizona.
The novel by Luke Short upon which this film is based, was serialized in the Saturday Evening Post from October 19 to November 30, 1946. RKO purchased the film rights for $20,000 (about $302,000 in 2023).
The TCM print is the 1957 re-release, with re-framed title credits to accommodate wide-screen projection and shortened to 80 minutes. This is also the cut available on DVD, so presumably the full-length version is lost.
