Cast

Novelization

A paperback novelization of the screenplay was written by the ubiquitous and popular pulpsmith, Michael Avallone, under the publisher's "house" (shared) pseudonym, "Max Walker." (Contrary to any other assertion, this is the only time Avallone's work was published under the Walker by-line.) The publisher was Popular Library and the cover price was 60¢.
