While the film lists no Director, it was actually directed by John Ford. He had his name removed as 'Director' before release for an unspecified reason. If one looks at the opening credits it states at the bottom this film is a "A John Ford Production."
This film was a modest success at the box office, earning MGM a profit of $49,000 ($838,000 in 2017) according to studio records.
The 1,500 RM Polakai gives Nicky for train fare would equal about $357 at the time, or about $6,100 in 2017.
