It was written by Walter Meade, John Dighton and Alfred Shaughnessy based on a short story by Geoffrey Household from Tales of Adventurers (1952). The title is a reference to the refrain of the poem "A Smuggler's Song" by Rudyard Kipling.

Production

The screenplay was based on an unused script from Ealing Studios, which was passed on to Group Three Films who produced it on a comparatively small budget. Director John Eldridge had previously worked in the documentary film sector and this was his feature film debut. Filming took seven weeks. It was made at Southall Studios in London. The film's sets were designed by the art director Ray Simm.

Kenneth More said he was cast due to Shaugnessy who had seen a test More made for Scott of the Antarctic.
