Facts about
Eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes backed the film financially. He later paid an extra $12 million (estimated) for every existing copy because of guilt; he paid to ship 60 tons of contaminated soil to Hollywood for retakes.

The box office failure of this movie was believed to be ultimately responsible for the demise of RKO Pictures studios.
