At the end of shooting, Tippi Hedren discovered that the big cats used in the production had no place to go and would likely languish in small cages. This prompted her to obtain a parcel of land on her own to establish a home with a natural setting for retired big cats. It is called Shambala and exists to this day (1999).
This was one of those projects (along with Satan's Harvest (1970) and Docteur Caraïbes (1973)) of which Tippi Hedren later said: "Occasually I accepted roles for the foreign travel involved." She didn't think much of this movie, although she wrote in "The Cats of Shambala" that she enjoyed working with John Saxon and Rossano Brazzi immensely.
