The film marked the return of the veteran director Veljko Bulajić after a 17-year break. Following a long and troubled production, it was released to high expectations, but did not meet a favorable reception from either the critics or the box office.

It held lectures at Elingård in Fredrikstad from 1948, and published the magazine Nå from 1952 to 1995. Libertas was succeeded by the Liberal Research Institute in 1988.

Trygve de Lange was secretary-general from 1947 to 1976. The chairmen were Odd Berg (1947–1952), Knut Halvorsen (–1965), Johan Hjort (1965–1968), Jens C. Hagen (1968–), Hjalmar Aass (–1978), Birger Halvorsen (1978–), Johan Fredrik Biermann, Sverre Sunde and Sigurd Herlofson (1980s).
