Facts about
In 1958, MGM reissued this film on a double bill with Rogue Cop.
The location footage in this film, especially the various animals, was re-used as stock footage for dozens of films in the fifties and later, including Tarzan, the Ape Man, Watusi and the 1973 version of Trader Horn.
Errol Flynn was originally cast as Quartermain, but turned it down, as he did not desire to sleep in a tent on location in Africa. Instead he did Kim, which was filmed in India, but the accommodations for the actors were at a local resort.
