The film was produced by Margia Dean, who had appeared in a number of films for Robert L. Lippert. She started up her own production company, Margot Productions. She hired William Witney to direct because she had worked with him on The Secret of the Purple Reef. "He was likeable and worked well with actors", she later said. "He was capable and within the price range, so I hired him... He did a good job."[4]
