A novelization of the screenplay was issued by Monarch Books in May 1960—about two months in advance of the film's release (as was often customary in the era). The by-line was given as "Dan Pepper & Max Gareth". Both names were pseudonyms. "Dan Pepper", also credited as co-screenwriter, was a joint pseudonym for Lou Morheim (who would become a noted screenwriter and producer under his own name) and American novelist Stuart James. ==References==
