First English speaking theatrical movie of Tutte Lemkow (Jaroslav).
Because of her incomprehensible English pronunciation, French actress Mila Parely was replaced for reshoots by Siobhan McKenna. As some of the original Parely footage was left in the finished film, the French star sued the production company Gainsborough for making it look like she was just a supporting player.
[Foreword] This story takes place in a Dispersal Centre in Germany at the end of the war. Refugees, coming from all parts of Europe, had no common language, except a smattering of German picked up in the concentration camps. For clarity's sake, the dialogue in the film has been interpreted entirely in English.
Richard Attenborough appeared "By arrangement with the Boulting Brothers."
