 The film reunited the star, producer and director of "Village of the Damned" (1960).Filming took place in mid 1962 and involved location shooting in Cairo.Richard Johnson later recalled "It wasn't a very good film, I'm afraid, but George [Sanders] and I had a lovely time, George entertaining at the piano every night at the Shepheard hotel, overlooking the Nile, and telling the most outrageous stories about his contemporaries in Hollywood."
