The originally published title of the translation was Tot Middennacht, of List tegen List, though it is alternatively and more commonly spelled Tot Middernacht, of List tegen List in a number of sources, including the Biographisch woordenboek der Nederlanden (1869) and F.C.L. Bosman (1928).
Worp, 1908, wrongly claims that this is a Dutch translation of the French play Les Intrigants, ou Assaut de Fourberies ("The intriguers, or assault by deceit") by Dumaniant (A.J. Bourlin), 1787, but the use of the French subtitle in the Dutch version, a comparison of the texts, and many references in other sources all confirm that it was indeed a translation of the earlier play, which was also the play translated into English as The Midnight Hour by Mrs Inchbald in 1787.
For South African productions of the play, see Guerre-Ouverte, ou Ruse contre Ruse
