This movie was based on Larry Forrester's second 'Fathom' novel which was never published and was only in draft form at the time of production and release. Forrester's first 'Fathom' novel was called 'A Girl Called Fathom' and was first published in the same year as this film was released: 1967.

This movie was influenced by the James Bond franchise, and ironically, such above-mentioned aerial activities would actually make this picture prefigure the many aerial and flying stunt sequences which would dominate the Bond series from the 1970s onwards.
The opening title sequence was designed by Maurice Binder who regularly did the opening titles for the James Bond movies from the 1960s right up until the late 1980s.
