Production Notes
The film was released in the USA on the bottom half of a programmed double bill with Attack of the Crab Monsters.
Some releases ran 71 minutes. These copies did not include extra material; instead, the distributor edited certain footage twice into the film, for instance a dialogue between Johnson and a representative from Davanna, which appears as a pre-title sequence and again some minutes later into the film. This version circulated on US TV stations, 16 mm copies and on bootleg DVDs and videotapes.

Famous quotes containing the words production and/or notes:
“An art whose limits depend on a moving image, mass audience, and industrial production is bound to differ from an art whose limits depend on language, a limited audience, and individual creation. In short, the filmed novel, in spite of certain resemblances, will inevitably become a different artistic entity from the novel on which it is based.”
—George Bluestone, U.S. educator, critic. “The Limits of the Novel and the Limits of the Film,” Novels Into Film, Johns Hopkins Press (1957)
“Lap me in soft Lydian airs,
Married to immortal verse,
Such as the meeting soul may pierce
In notes with many a winding bout
Of linked sweetness long drawn out,
With wanton heed and giddy cunning,
The melting voice through mazes running,
Untwisting all the chains that tie
The hidden soul of harmony;”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
