The film was known as John Brown's Raiders. In July 1954 Walter Mirisch announced the film would be one of 15 Allied Artists would make over the next 6 months.[2] The same month the studio announced that Massey would play Brown.[3]
Hunter and Paget were borrowed from 20th Century Fox. Filming started in September 1954.[4]
Reception
The New York Times critic called it a "competent if hardly inspired Allied Artists presentation".[5]
