Production
Filming began in 1943, with eight months spent shooting in Tanganyika. A U-boat sank cameras and stock on the way out. Cameras were impounded and shooting was held up with slow convoys, bad weather, a strike of lab men in Hollywood and difficulties involved in shooting in Technicolor.[4]
Release
The film was an expensive failure at the box office.
