Production

The film is based on the 1957 novel The Terrible Game by Dan Tyler Moore, adapted for the screen by Charles Robert Carner (of Blind Fury fame), and shot in Yugoslavia. Producer Jack H. Harris first acquired the rights for Universal-International to develop it as a potential vehicle for Rock Hudson. The rights were then acquired by Fred Weintraub.

Filipino actress Tetchie Agbayani was cast as Princess Rubali, the love interest to Kurt Thomas' character Jonathan Cabot after she finished her scenes for the film The Emerald Forest, where she played Brazilian tribal member Caya. Having moved to the United States in 1982, she had originally intended to retire as an actress and "be a normal person" prior to receiving the two roles.
