Production
The film was originally known as Acapulco.[2] Henreid says he got Franz Waxman to score the picture but Herbert Yates of Republic overruled him.[3]
Reception
Henreid later claimed the film was "absolutely ruined" by the studio. "It was a decent film, not a great film by any means... apparently they didn't understand the film at all and they cut essential parts."[2]
