Footnotes
“Columbia Pictures” financed this movie and insisted that two American actors be cast. Therefore, the initial casting of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee was changed to that of Jack Palance (Ronald Wyatt) and Burgess Meredith (Dr. Diabolo), with Peter Cushing being cast as Lancelot Canning.
