Production
The movie was in pre-production for a number of years with Jon Hall attached to star from the beginning. Sigrid Gurie was originally announced to costar.[3]Production of the film was temporarily postponed due to World War II.[4] For a time it seemed Clayton Moore might be cast instead of Hall but Hall was given the role in the end.[5]
Second unit footage was shot in American Samoa[6] with four weeks shooting in Hawaii.[7] However most location work was done near Long Beach, Los Angeles.[8]
