Plot
Production
Budd Boetticher was working as an assistant director at Columbia Pictures, notably to George Stevens on 'The More the Merrier'. Harry Cohn took a liking to Boetticher and got him to direct the last two days of filming. Boetticher said it was a 12-day picture and recalled "my God, I studied! I prepared every angle, I went over the script line by line, I prepared for those two days as if I were directing 'Gone With the Wind', because I didn't have any talent for it."
Boetticher called Landers "a no-talent guy. They called him the "D" director there at Columbia; he just wasn't any good. Whenever they had a picture they didn't really care about, they'd give it to Landers." He later performed a similar task on 'U-Boat Prisoner' (1944).
