The general storyline was repeated several times in later films such as 'Manpower' (1941) with Marlene Dietrich and George Raft, in which Robinson plays the same role but as a powerline worker.
The film's leading lady Zita Johann may be best remembered for her role in Karl Freund's 'The Mummy' (1932).
