Production
editIt was the first film written by Tudor Gates, for a company called Sagittarius.[4] According to Gates, he was offered the job by Al Rosen, an American agent who he met in a studio carpark. Rosen talked him into writing a film and Rosen sold it. Gates says his fee was around a thousand pounds.[5]
Filming took place at Shepperton Studios. Tab Hunter made the movie immediately after starring in War Gods of the Deep (1965) also shot in England. He later called the film "a low budget potboiler with a fine actress called Zena Walker", adding "I didn't do it for the art, let's face it. I did it to stay in England and enjoy a life I'd never have otherwise experienced." He said the film "has fallen through the cracks, both in public consciousness and my own memory."[6]
