Production

Filmmaker Jack Arnold on directing Lex Barker:

The first day Lex came on the set, I had never seen anyone as nervous as he was. I started to stage the scene, and he just ran out of the set. So I told everyone to go get coffee and I went over to Lex to calm him down…”Believe me Lex, you can trust me.
