It stars Margaret Lockwood. Lockwood was going to make a film version of this book in 1950 after Highly Dangerous.[2][3] The project kept being delayed.[4]

She made it after Trent's Last Case. She wrote "I had already developed a great liking for televised plays and this one was an interesting part."[5]

The production was well received.[6]

In 1964 the novel was adapted into a four-part BBC series Ann Veronica starring Rosemary Nicols.
