Trivia
This is the second feature-length fiction film ever to be shot in Toronto. Long thought lost, this early Canadian independent film was found buried deep in the British Film Institute vaults in 2013. Spearheaded by director Sidney J. Furie's biographer, Daniel Kremer, a restoration and preservation project soon got underway. A missing reel of negative and a magnetic sound track were located after having been misfiled under another title. In May 2014, the restoration project was completed.

Crazy credits
The film's title is spoken in voice-over, but never presented in print on the screen at any point. The cast and crew are listed only at the end of the film. This was highly unusual for 1959.
