This film is one of over 200 titles in the list of independent feature films made available for television presentation by Advance Television Pictures announced in Motion Picture Herald 4 April 1942. At this time, television broadcasting was in its infancy, almost totally curtailed by the advent of World War II, and would not continue to develop until 1945-1946. Because of poor documentation (feature films were often not identified by title in conventional sources) no record has yet been found of its initial television broadcast.
The flashbacks told by the ghosts are presented in lovely silent style tinted formats: For the husband and the first lover, a salmon pink color, for the second lover, a night time blue tint.
Ophuls had directed a stage production of the play on which the film was based, some years earlier in Breslau, Germany.
Janine Darcey's debut.
