The script was originally a true historical incident about a trapper named John Colter being pursued by Blackfoot Indians in Wyoming, but lower shooting costs, tax breaks and material and logistical assistance offered by South Africa convinced Cornel Wilde and the other producers to shoot the film there.

Cornel Wilde was ill through much of the filming but continued, noting that it seemed to add to his performance.

Cornel Wilde said in interviews at the time that scene in which his character turns and is narrowly missed by a spear was an accident that could have been gruesomely real, but the scene worked and was kept.

When Wilde is surrounded by the snakes we plainly hear Rattlesnake sound effects. None of the snakes are rattlers since they aren't indigenous to Africa.

After he first puts his clothing on by the thorn bushes you can clearly see a house in the background, on his left side by his arm.

Crew member running away is visible near the end of the scene where the monkey and cheeta are fighting.
