Development
The novel was published in 1953 and became a bestseller. Rights to the novel were bought by Ladd's Jaguar Productions in 1955.

At one point, Doris Day was announced as the film's female lead as part of a three- picture deal to be made over three years; she and Ladd would co-star in two films. This did not happen, howeve...

And going by some bright dialogue in the John Twist–Martin Rackin–Harry Brown script, and Rudolph Mate's erratic direction, there is ample evidence that the parties responsible knew better."
