It was one of a number of circus-themed films around this time that followed from the success of Trapeze (1956) (others were Toby Tyler and The Big Circus). The film was originally known as High Trap. Filming started 20 April 1959.[1] The sets were designed by the veteran art director Paul Palmentola, his last film credit.
