In 2020, ''Filmink'' magazine said "if you only see one Gainsborough melodrama, this is the one to check out." The story was based on the 1945 novel ''Life and Death of the Wicked Lady Skelton'' by Magdalen King-Hall which, in turn, was based upon the (disputed) events surrounding the life of Lady Katherine Ferrers, the wife of the major landowner in Markyate on the main London–Birmingham road.
