This 1953 television movie is an adaptation of Henry van Dyke's novella. The central character, Artaban, who is male in the source material, is portrayed as male in this adaptation. There are no instances of established characters being depicted as a different gender.

The film adapts a novella featuring characters from ancient Persia/Middle East. The 1953 production cast white actors, which was a common practice for the era. The source material does not establish a specific race for these characters that would constitute a clear 'race swap' by casting white actors under the given definition.
