Production
Filming took place in May 1961.
Robert L. Lippert announced plans for a sequel but it appears to not have been made.
Brenda Lee sang two songs in the film, "Honey Bear" over the opening titles and "Speak To Me Pretty", which was a hit when it was released on a single. However, for some reason, "Honey Bear" was not released on disc at the time and remains unreleased to this day. The film was not released in the UK until late 1962, when it went out on release as the lower half of a double-bill with 'Five Weeks in a Balloon'.
