Did you know
- TriviaAmerican International Pictures would frequently make use of frozen dollars and cheaper European facilities by sending composers Les Baxter and Ronald Stein to record their scores in London, Munich and Rome. Baxter recounted in a 1981 interview for Soundtrack! that he was sent to Rome in 1967 to score The Glass Sphinx, but was not allowed to conduct the orchestra because of rulings by the Italian music unions. Fortunately, legendary film conductor Franco Ferrara was persuaded to come out of retirement.

A sad film
I am on a campaign to watch every Robert Taylor movie that is available. Overall, this movie is beyond subpar. It is a cheaply made Italian film that is very disjointed. I am not sure there was a professional film editor used. My favorite star of all time, the marvelous Robert Taylor, should have passed on this poor quality opportunity. The man made very, very good films for more than thirty years., so, I can only assume that he just wanted to keep busy. This film was made not long before his death in 1969. He was still very handsome, even, as an older man (around 56 years old) and he still had his wonderful voice; but the romance aspect was not needed in this film. In fact, the movie could have made without any stars as by the later part of the 60s, having a classic Hollywood actor was probably not the way to get an audience. I will further add that seeing a classic Hollywood star out of their historical tine frame of popularity is very jarring. If you are a Taylor fan, I would skip this film. If you decide to watch it, be prepared to feel sad that his time had passed.
