 Completed as Passport to Heaven in 1941, but unable to find a  distributor due to the outbreak of World War II, which made its  German settings and characterizations unpalatable to the American  public; eventually picked up by Film Classics in 1945, but received  few bookings, probably for the same reason; the only review it ever  received was in Exhibitor Magazine in July 1946, who also commented  on this same problem; eventually picked up for television release by  NTA in the 1950s, but only infrequently shown.
