Did you know

In his autobiography, Tony Curtis says that he worked on the movie because they paid him $100,000, and he needed to make child support payments. He also mentions that during the production, he never saw the scenes of the movie that his character was reacting to.

Orson Welles came up with the title for this movie. He had originally agreed to play the role of the producer, but died before production began.

Although shot using 35mm film, this was the first feature length movie to have its picture and sound post production completed entirely by means of video technology. No traditional film post production methods were used. Only the final release print used 35mm film.

A harmless, somewhat amusing parody of 1950s scifi movies.
