- AnecdotesWhile the actress, Marianne Koch, played the part of Dr. Inge Jung in the film, in 1971 she went to medical school earning her Medical Doctor degree in 1974 and practiced medicine in Munich, Germany, until 1997 .
- GaffesIn the final scene Todd and the girl, in a boat on the river, look up and see an aircraft supposedly taking the other girl back to civilization. This Lufthansa Boeing 707/700 is clearly trimmed for landing with wheels and flaps extended. Any 707 of that era powered by the Pratt and Whitney JT3D engine would be emitting vast amounts of smoke when on full power after take off as to gain max power. In tropical conditions it used water injection to increase thrust, creating a massive amount of soot.

The Diamond Smugglers
Edgar Wallace had been popular screen fodder for decades, but this seems to be the first adaptation of his work to hit the big screen in Technicolor, presumably in order to make another James Bond out of district commissioner Sanders. (Ian Fleming had already published a series of articles for 'The Sunday Times' called The Diamond Smugglers', which could easily as served as a title for this.)
The presence of Walter Rilla alerts us to the fact this is a German-British co-production (and German heroine Marianne Koch arrives by Lufthansa while the villain uses a luger). Unlike most European films set below the Equator - which always seem wholly devoid of creepy-crawlies - this film actually acknowledges the inhospitable presence of snakes and crocodiles.
