Although Victor Kilian, as Dr. Morley, is clearly the star of the film, he received no screen credit because he was blacklisted shortly after completing the movie, a victim of the McCarthy "Red Scare" hysteria sweeping the country at the time.

There seems to be some inspiration for this film taken from Jules Verne's "Journey to the Centre of the Earth". Both feature an underground sea.
