Filming commenced in June 1940. Shooting took place at Fig Tree Studios in Hunters Hill, Sydney with additional scenes shot at Camden. Financing was made possible by an overdraft guaranteed by the New South Wales government. The female star, Katrin Roselle, was an Austrian migrant who married an Australian then moved to Hollywood after the film was made. Finch was injured during filming when wind filled an open parachute he was holding and pulled him off his feet at the RAAF base at Camden. The freighter Turkana which appears in the movie was sunk soon after filming by a German raider. Release Distribution was done through MGM, the first time that company had handled an Australian feature film. The Chief Films Censor, Cresswell O'Reilly, ruled that the film was not suitable for general exhibition (i.e. for adults and not children) but this was overturned on appeal. The movie received generally positive reviews. However Monkman directed no further feature films. The movie was re-released in 1952 as The Invaders.
