Connie Stevens was a huge favorite in the 60's due to her appearances on Warner Brothers great hit TV show "Hawaiian Eye" Connie was also cast in WB hit films such as Parrish and Susan Slade both with her friend and WB's big male star Troy Donahue. Troy was announced for this film but rebelled and was placed on suspension. Troy finally came to his senses and retuned to WB and starred in "My Blood Runs Cold". Troy hd everything going for him at WB with hits like Parrish, Rome Adventure, Palm Springs Weekend but asked for his early release from his 7 year contract. Troy claimed JL Warner blackballed him in the Industry.
This suspense movie was I think Max Steiner's last film at WB. Steiner made many movies better with his music! An Artist!
Troy was replaced in this film by the very able Dean Jones and together with Ms. Stevens were very effective. The film with top notch WB production values was directed by William Conrad. Connie after 5 years at WB got first billing on a picture. Connie was a star at WB. Natalie Wood was the Queen of the WB Lot, but Connie drew more fan mail.
This is what I would have called a "studio picture" made with contract players at the studio: some example: Diane McBain, in "Claudelle Inglish" , Clint Walker and Edd Byrnes om "Yellowsyone Kelly" Troy Donahue on "My Blood Runs Cold". Ty Hardin in "Wall Of Noise" Troy Donahue, Connie Stevens, Ty Hardin and Bob Conrad in "Palm Springs Weekend". Troy Donahue and Diane McBain in "A Distant Trumpet", Diane McBain in "Black Gold". Shirley Knight in "House of Women"
