The film's only on-screen credits are: "Supervised by an Officer appointed by the General Staff; Produced for the Directorate of Army Kinematography; Approved January 1943; AKS Production".

The film was later expanded and remade as The Way Ahead (1944), co-written by Ambler and Ustinov, directed by Carol Reed, and starring David Niven. Huntley and Laurie reprised essentially the same roles, while Ustinov played a different part.
