Much of the opening, under-titles sequence of a prison break was made from footage borrowed from Rebelião no Presídio (1954), directed by Don Siegel.
Originally planned as a Mutual Pictures of California production, to follow O Monstro do Mar (1953) in 1952.
Re-released by Olive Films on Blu-ray in 2013.
Is referenced in the board game Balderdash.
