The most unusual aspect of the production was that it was later remade for Australian television in 1957 at a time when Australian drama production was rare.[4] It was directed by William Sterling.[5]

Broadcast live on Sydney station ABN-2 on 19 June 1957, a kinescope was made of the broadcast and shown on Melbourne television station ABV-2 on 19 July 1957.[6] It is not known if the kinescope recording still exists.
