Production
The film was one of a series of low-budget color remakes Larry Buchanan directed for AIP (American International Pictures) in Dallas.[1]
Aron Kincaid made the film as part of an out-of-court settlement with AIP. He filmed for two weeks to meet his contractual obligations then left to return home. Buchanan was upset as he still had three days of scenes for Kincaid to do. He accompanied him in the cab to the airport, taping the rest of his dialog in the back seat.[2]
