Production

Filming was to have started 15 December 1952.[2] However it was pushed back until April 1953 as Steve Fisher rewrote the script.[3] John Derek was borrowed from Columbia Pictures to play the lead.[4] (After filming completed, Derek asked for – and was given – release from his Columbia contract.[5])

gollark: Hmm. Well. Extended monitoring mode would probably not help.
gollark: Nope. Nothing.
