Philip Yordan says he wrote the script in three days. He says he was approached by Edward Small who had set up the picture at Republic for which actors had been hired and sets built, but Herbert Yates head of the studio did not like the script. Small said Yates would finance if Yordan wrote the script, so he started on Friday, dictated it on Saturday and Sunday morning. Filming began on Monday. [1]
