 Phyllis Coates (qv) accepted the role of Dale Marshall as a favor  to director Jerry Warren (qv), who was a former boyfriend; the  actress originally cast in the lead couldnt do it and Warren  couldnt find anyone else in time. He convinced Coates to do it by  telling her that the film would not be shown in California. However,  after it was completed, she found out that Warren did indeed release  the film in California, and she was told by at least one studio  executive (at Columbia) that the film was so inferior and shoddy  that the studio would not be hiring her again. On top of that,  Warren never paid her.
