The film was made at Ealing Studios[2] with sets designed by the art director R. Holmes Paul.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "The attempt to mix melodrama and inside views of a gramophone factory fails, and neither aspect is adequately treated. The fictional story spreads over the long period from the infancy of the gramophone to the present day and suggests that this period has been one of trickery, theft and the exploitation of the technical by the commercial man. Production and acting are unpretentious and adequate."[3]
