  • Production

    Max Ophüls was hoping to direct the film but was passed over in favour of Robert Florey.

    The film was first announced in November 1947 with writer-producer Robert Buckner saying he was inspired by stories of former Nazis enlisting in the French Foreign Legion. In particular he researched the disappearance of Martin Bormann.

    Edmond O'Brien was originally announced as star. It was made shortly after the production of another film about the French Foreign Legion, Outpost in Morocco. Burt Lancaster was sought for a supporting part.

    In March 1948 it was announced Universal signed Dick Powell to play the lead. Edmond O'Brien dropped out of the film to make a movie with Deanna Durbin.

    It was meant to be the 60th film directed by Robert Florey at Universal.

    Release

    The Los Angeles Times said the film had an "arresting premise" which "went the way of just another cops and robbers chase".

    The New York Times wrote that "if this man-hunt for a vicious, top-flight Nazi in the environs of Saigon bears more than a passing resemblance to a dozen other film chases of recent vintage, mark it down as topical, at least. If credibility is by-passed more than once, it is all done briskly and with good will."

    Adaptation

    In 1951 Dick Powell reprised his role in a radio adaptation of the film on Screen Directors Playhouse.
