James Mason reportedly had very little patience with Arlene Dahl's "movie star" preening. Their relationship off-screen was very much like their relationship on- screen.
Fox gave the green light to this big-budget CinemaScope production partially due to the success of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954) and Around the World in 80 Days (1956). As with those earlier films, the heavy cost proved to be a good investment, resulting in a big hit at the box office.
Pat Boone didn't want to make this film, but his agent talked him into it. Years later, he said he's glad he did it because of the regular residual checks, and it's the movie he'll probably be best remembered for.
(at around 1h 35 mins) Count Saknussemm says: "I don't sleep. I hate those little slices of death." This is a variation of an Edgar Allan Poe quote: "Sleep, those little slices of death; Oh how I loathe them".
James Mason replaced an ailing Clifton Webb in the part of Professor Lindenbrook before filming began. Alexander Scourby started shooting at Carlsbad Caverns in the Count Saknussemm role, but the producers were unhappy with him and he was replaced with Thayer David.
"Sir Oliver Lindenbrook: Are we to be abducted every day in Iceland?"
"Carla Goetabaug: Poor Sir Oliver, stuck with a woman. If only you could see your face. Sir Oliver Lindenbrook: That's my consolation, madam, I don't have to look at it. You do."
