Cast

Production

It 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 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]
