The most unusual aspect of the production was that it was later remade for Australian television in 1957 at a time when Australian drama production was rare.[4] It was directed by William Sterling.[5]
Broadcast live on Sydney station ABN-2 on 19 June 1957, a kinescope was made of the broadcast and shown on Melbourne television station ABV-2 on 19 July 1957.[6] It is not known if the kinescope recording still exists.
Bruce Beeby and Madi Hedd were married in real life. They made this shortly after returning to Australia from six years in Britain.[7][8]
Thelma Afford did the design.[9]
