Interesting facts

Dino is a 1957 American drama film directed by Thomas Carr, written by Reginald Rose, and starring Sal Mineo, Brian Keith and Susan Kohner. It was an adaptation of a teleplay of the same name originally broadcast in 1956 on Westinghouse Studio One. The picture was released as part of a double feature in April 1957.

Production

Producer Bernice Block made this film (her first) because she saw Reginald Rose's original television drama, then bought it because she "loved it.".

The film was set up at Allied Artists, which had made another movie based on a Rose television script, Crime in the Streets.

Sal Mineo and Pat DeSimmone are the only actors to reprise their roles from the original teleplay. Mineo's brother, Michael Mineo, was also cast in the film as Rico. This is the only film the two appear in together.
