The movie was written by Phyllis Bottome, Gregory La Cava, and Lynn Starling and was directed by La Cava. Cinematographer Leon Shamroy used early zoom lenses to create special effects for the film.
Claudette Colbert was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for the film.
The film is based on the 1934 novel of the same title by British writer Phyllis Bottome, who has had several of her works transferred to film, such as The Mortal Storm (MGM, 1940).
The film tells of problems in the lives of doctors and patients. A female doctor (Colbert) probes the twisted minds of her patients in a mental institution. The very caring psychiatrist and her colleague face discrimination by a conservative new supervisor.
The film had a loss of $10,458.[1]
