The film was among a number of lower budgeted movies produced at MGM under the regime of Dore Schary. According to Mann, "Metro said: ‘Make whatever picture you want.' John [Alton] and I had thought of doing Border Incident, because the guys there were also involved with the Federal agents and T Men. Through the research we had made with T Men we found the fantastic story of the Border Incident boys. We made it on location, but it was really not Metro’s cup of tea. When it came out, they were flabbergasted. It wasn’t anything they thought a motion picture should be!" ==Reception==

According to MGM records the film earned $580,000 in the US and Canada and $328,000 overseas resulting in a loss of $194,000. ==References==
