Despite Clint Eastwood's reputation for violence in other films, his character kills more people in this film than any other Eastwood character.
The driving force behind the film was Richard Burton's stepson, who wanted to see his stepfather in a good old-fashioned adventure movie. Burton approached producer Elliott Kastner for ideas, who asked Alistair MacLean. At that time, most of MacLean's novels had either been made into films, or were in the process of being filmed.

Co-star Clint Eastwood referred to this movie as "Where Doubles Dared."
