What's left behind the scenes

By the end of the filming period, cinematographer Mario Bava had taken over the duties of the director, as director Jacques Tourneur refused to renew his ten-year contract with the studio. Galatea Film rewarded Bava for agreeing to finish the picture by giving him the chance to direct his own horror film, 'Black Sunday' (1960).
