Lenore Aubert was loaned out by Universal-International Studios to Columbia Studios to do " The Barbary Pirate " in order to fulfill her Universal Studios contract, to where she was under a 7 year contract which started in 1948, because her then husband, sweater king and actor, Julius Altman wanted to return to Europe so Universal Studios didn't settle on a movie project for her and thus loaned her out for this picture. Against their ( Universal Studios) better judgement, altered her picture contract to a three picture deal from the original 7 year contract Universal originally signed her to.
