Production

The movie was filmed in Eastmancolor, in Argentina, in 1956, along with Curucu, Beast of the Amazon, and used some of the same cast. Curt Siodmak claimed to have made the film because he had 10,000 feet of color film left over from "Curucu" but could not export the unused film.[1]

According to an online New York Times review, "You knew what you were in for when you saw the title, so don't grouse."[2]]

gollark: lescitrons: no, that's not how GPS works.
gollark: What is?
gollark: Unless you do some very clever things I didn't devise.
gollark: It's only really useful if your GPS server is the only one.
gollark: I did work out how to selectively spoof GPS. I just didn't do it.
