Production

Griffith had signed with Columbia under a five-film writer-producer-director contract; he ended up only making two of them, the other being Ghost of the China Sea, which he did not direct.

"They were really terrible," he recalled later. "It stopped me for twenty years from ever directing again. They were really rank. You see, I got chicken and started to write very safely within a formula to please the major studios, and of course, you can't do that."

The film was shot mostly on location in Hawaii. Filming started November 4, 1957.

Photos have been found in the archives of Silver Springs State Park, Florida, indicating that some scenes were filmed there.

Rebecca Welles was originally cast in the lead role but had to pull out and was replaced by Nan Adams.
