 Some time after the films UK release, American distributor Jack Harris and  importer Richard Gordon contemplated a US release with new footage featuring  Bela Lugosi (qv); but this could not be accomplished because of Lugosis  deteriorated physical condition.  The film did not make it to US screens  until 1964, where it was given about 2 minutes of added footage ahead of the  main title, featuring comic songster Allan Sherman and an unidentified sexy  model.  In the credits that followed, the names of Lugosi and Lucan were both  omitted, though they were retained in the publicity materials.
