The film is based on a locked-room mystery novel by well-known mystery writer Clayton Rawson, Death From a Top Hat, which was the first to feature his series detective The Great Merlini.
One of them, Miracles for Sale (1939), was based on Death from a Top Hat but had no character named Merlini—instead, Robert Young played "The Great Morgan".
