The film version, released in 1963, stars Jean Simmons, Robert Preston, Pat Hingle, and John Cullum. In addition, there were TV adaptations in 1971 (starring Joanne Woodward, Richard Kiley, and Eileen Heckart) and 1981 (starring Sally Field and William Hurt).

The creative team for the Transport Group production includes Sandra Goldmark (sets), Shana Albery and Kathryn Rohe (costumes), R. Lee Kennedy (lighting), Ellen Weiss (original music), and Lanny Meyers (music supervision).
