Trivia

Despite the overall low budget nature of this film, the producers obtained the services of the highly regarded cinematographer John Alton. This became one of two features shot by Alton during the final year of his active career. This did not indicate a decline in Alton's professional reputation; the other film shot that year was the far more upscale Elmer Gantry. See more »

Continuity: As the first astronaut is exiting the ship's hatch for the first time, a reverse angle shows someone already walking on the moon. See more »

Crazy Credits

The "starring" cast credits are shown against a background of stars.
Each name seems to zoom outward from the center of the screen, like
meteors in a shower; but as each one appears it stops and remains
onscreen until all 12 names are visible simultaneously. Ken Clark's
name is the first shown, followed in order by Michi Kobi, Tom Conway,
Tony Dexter, John Wengraf, Bob Montgomery Jr., Phillip Baird, Richard
Weber, Tema Bey, Roger Til, Cory Devlin, and "and Anna-Lisa"; but when
they have all settled in their places, the first row of names has
Clark, Baird, Dexter, Til, Conway; the second row has Devlin, Bey,
Montgomery, Wengraf; and the third row has Kobi, Anna-Lisa, Weber.
Francis X. Bushman's name appears on a second screen as a "guest star". See more »
