Made pre-Code, the movie has a devilishly ghoulish tone and sense of humor that would have prevented it from being released if it had been made after the Production Code was fully in effect.

Unfortunately for his career, Ulmer fell in love with the wife of the nephew of Universal studio chief Carl Laemmle, which--when she left her husband for Ulmer--resulted in his being blacklisted out of the majors. He spent most of the rest of his career on Poverty Row.
