The Big Cube is a 1969 psychological thriller film directed by Tito Davison and starring Lana Turner, Karin Mossberg, George Chakiris, Daniel O'Herlihy, and Richard Egan. The film is an international co-production between Mexico and the United States. Its plot follows an aging former actress who is dosed with LSD by her malicious stepdaughter, seeking to drive her mad and obtain her fortune. It is notable for its aggressive portrayal of LSD use and the 1960s youth counterculture as vicious evils.

Production

The film was based on a story by Tito Davison and Edmundo Báez, the former of whom served as director. In January 1968, Motion Pictures International (MPI) negotiated a co-production agreement with the Mexico-based Producciones Anco to produce the film, based on a screenplay written by William Douglas Lansford.

Lana Turner's casting was announced in the spring of 1968. As part of her contract, Turner refused to appear nude in the film, despite the screenplay originally calling for it.

The film was shot on location in Mexico, primarily at the Studios Churbusco in Mexico City as well as on the coastal Acapulco Bay with a budget of US$560,000. The shooting schedule was scheduled to last approximately eight weeks, with principal photography beginning on May 3, 1968.
