| Shep helped John Cassavetes
raise funding for this movie by having John as one of his rare guests on
his radio show one Sunday night in February 1957. As a show of
gratitude, Cassavetes expressed his thanks in the opening credits of the
movie.
Shep was so committed to the project that he
loaned his assistant Ellen Paulos to Cassavetes to help with the film.
Author Ray Carney has written many books on
