Production

The film was based on the play Master Crook by Bruce Walker which had been originally titled Cosh Boy. It debuted at the Embassy in 1951 starring James Kenney. The Spectator said "its rough, crude taste is shockingly welcome" and praised the third act for its "highly unpleasant, undeniably effective, melodramatic tension." Variety called it "a strong piece of melodrama."

The film was financed by the Woolf Brothers.

Joan Collins called it "a shop girl’s melodrama and the public loved it. I enjoyed working with Jimmy and all the other young actors. The director, Lewis Gilbert, was adorable to me, and good to work with."
