Because British film censors would not approve of the USA version, in which they found the identity of the killer objectionable, a separate ending was filmed, with a different member of the cast identified as the murderer.

Meantime, the USA version received the usual hack job from Republics editors when it was sold to television back in the 1950s, and only seems to have survived in that mutilated form, with 13 of its original 66 minutes lost forever.

William Powell
. Olivier was willing to work for $100,000 less than Powell and so he was chosen.
Leslie Howard
was also considered for the part.
