Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Polselli shot three versions simultaneously: Italian, French, and this American cut with added sleaze. The 4.6 TMDB score reflects modern audiences encountering exploitation archaeology unprepared.
Mickey Hargitay was Mr. Universe 1955 and Jayne Mansfield's widower; his casting as the unhinged doctor was pure Italian producers exploiting American name recognition, regardless of acting ability.
