This film was a co-production between the British company Raymond Stross Productions, Ltd. and the Italian company Titanus Films and was completed in 1954. Cornel Wilde then filed suit to restrain the film's release because he felt the original dubbing did a disservice to his wife, Jean Wallace, who appeared in the film as "Katrina." Wilde dropped the suit after United Artists Corp. agreed to pay to re-dub and re-score the film in exchange for distribution rights.
