The film was based on a 1920 mystery novel called ''The Other Person'' which was written by Fergus Hume. Although Hume wrote a number of successful books from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, his main claim to fame is that one of his novels inspired [[Arthur Conan Doyle]] to write ''[[A Study in Scarlet]]'' in 1887, which marked the debut of [[Sherlock Holmes]]. Lead actress Zoe Palmer went on to star in ''Sweeney Todd'' (1928).<ref>Workman, Christopher; Howarth, Troy (2016). "Tome of Terror: Horror Films of the Silent Era".
