According to contemporary articles in The Hollywood Reporter, George Raft was originally cast as John Gamble, but he turned down the role because he didn't like the story. Warner Bros. then assigned Dennis Morgan, but RKO objected because Morgan was to be loaned out for Kitty Foyle, ragazza innamorata (1940). Warner Bros. then suspended Raft and the production was delayed to re-write the role to suit George Brent.

Blooper
The title and tagline of this film seem to be intentionally misleading, branding the movie as an adventure film when it's more of a crime melodrama. Audiences were probably surprised that more than half of the film involved a romance and trial in England (which is extremely far north of the Suez Canal).

LOVE THIS "UNKNOWN" OLDIE

I'd consider this to be one of my Top 10 all-time favorites. George Tobias' avaricious character is as wicked as can be, especially earlier in the movie...while George Brent's comes to the rescue of the poor indigenous African worker.... George Brent would have been one of my very favorites if I were around in his heydays. Virtually all the great '40s movies (the very best decade for films, American and British, in particular) I've seen on TCM, online...in recent years. This one was released about a decade before I was born so I missed it in theaters.... This movie is one of a dozen or so that I love to watch every now and then....
