Production
Budd Boetticher said that the film was "an eight day picture". He claims that he was called in to help finish it, as he had with Landers' ''
Submarine Raider''.
[Budd Boetticher: The Last Interview
Wheeler, Winston Dixon. Film Criticism; Meadville Vol. 26, Iss. 3, (Spring 2002): 52-0_3.]
Boetticher called Landers "a no-talent guy. They called him the "D" director there at Columbia; he just wasn't any good. Whenever they had a picture they didn't really care about, they'd give it to Landers."
