Production

The production began in the fall of 1953. The film was originally planned to be in 3D and Warner Color, but due to some technical issues the film couldn't be done in 3D or Warner Color, so widescreen black-and-white would now be the film's presentation format. However, the film was never shot in widescreen. Because of the preparation of certain scenes, many of the camera set-ups for 3D still remain in the film, like the opening titles and the flamethrowers shots aimed directly at the camera.
