Esta película británica de 1941 se creía perdida durante décadas. "Love On The Dole" fue la tercera película de Deborah Kerr y la segunda donde se trata la desigualdad social británica.
Basada en un libro escrito en 1933 cuando la depresión era muy real y cuando fue adaptada para el escenario en 1934 por el autor Walter Greenwood (Wendy Hiller interpretó a Sally). La obra fue un gran éxito: los discursos "reales" de Larry y los temas sociales contemporáneos fueron muy nuevos para el público británico.
