Notes: A Warners drama that was intended to introduce Lilli Palmer to an American audience that was reduced to supporting status in Melbourne. A decent number of engagements did not result in a strong EF rating due to no weeks or top billings and too many Tuesdays. Portrait of Jennie was the regular feature to which it was called upon to support.
