Production notes

Producer Bart Patton and director Lennie Weinrib had made Beach Ball for Roger Corman. The quality of the film on a low budget impressed Lew Wasserman at Universal who signed the team to make two films, Wild Wild Winter and Out of Sight.

Out of Sight features a variety of Universal contract players, musical performances by Gary Lewis and the Playboys, Dobie Gray, Freddie and the Dreamers, The Astronauts, The Turtles and The Knickerbockers provided by music producer Nick Venet, and gadget-laden motor vehicles designed by George Barris. The film's spytime score was composed by Fred Darian (who then managed Dobie Gray) and Al DeLory.

The film was written by Larry Hovis, who was then co-starring in Hogan's Heroes.

This movie is the only onscreen appearance of The Turtles in a feature film.

John Lodge, who plays John Stamp, never reveals his face onscreen.
