Production history
It was originally commissioned by producer Oscar Lewenstein, then a director of Woodfall, as one third of a 'portmanteau' feature entitled Red, White and Zero, with sections supplied by Lindsay Anderson, Tony Richardson and Karel Reisz

Reisz dropped out with his section becoming Brook's Ride of the Valkyrie. The two other planned sections of the film developed into what became Richardson's Red and Blue and Anderson's The White Bus. Of these, only The White Bus received a theatrical release in the UK.
