While the box office records of the 1940s are difficult to research, this is the consensus top-grossing picture of 1947.
Producer Kroger Babb had so much faith in this project that he determined that the film itself meet the accepted technical standards of a professional production. To achieve this, within the limits of his available capital, he approached one of Hollywood's leading poverty row studios, Monogram Pictures, to actually make the film. Monogram assigned producer Barney A. Serecky (as production supervisor), director of photography Marcel Le Picard, editor Richard Currier and especially director William Beaudine. This team had long experience with creating "one week wonders" on time and within meager budgets.
Olympic star Jesse Owens was the film's pitchman in black theaters for a time.
The picture was phenomenally successful. Producer Kroger Babb said that each investor got back $63,000 for each $1000 he invested in the film.
