Despite having several British actors and crew members, this film never got a cinema release in Britain. It had a brief video release in the early 1980s (luridly re-named "Lunatic") but is mainly known in the UK following TV showings and a DVD release (under its proper title) in the 21st century.
This was originally planned as an American-set film to star Steve McQueen and was announced as such by Twentieth Century Fox in 1963.
