Production
The film was announced in December 1961 as Tammy Takes Over'''. Dee made it after another film for Hunter, If a Man Answers.

Ross Hunter liked to develop new talent and the movie features 23 actors who had never made a film before. Among them was Peter Fonda, who had enjoyed critical acclaim for his performance in Blood, Sweat and Stanley Poole.  Hunter signed Peter Fonda to a seven years contract. Filmink'' magazine argued Fonda at this stage of his career was "a sort of poor man’s James Stewart – tall, gangly, boy next door, virginal looks, etc. (And Stewart was, famously, best friends with Fonda’s father, Henry)."
