On the first day of filming his nude scenes, Warren Raum suffered severe sunburn on his buttocks, so much so that shooting had to be postponed while he recovered.
Prior to filming, none of the cast and crew were nudists. However, since most of their scenes were filmed in the nude, Warren Raum and Ryp Siani soon became accustomed to not wearing clothes unless it was required for a particular scene, and often wandered amongst the crew stark naked even when not filming. Much of the crew also joined in skinny dipping with the boys during lunch breaks.
The film did not receive a wide distribution because prospective distributors were wary about the extensive nudity featured in the film.
Warren Raum and Ryp Siani were both director Ralph Bluemke's first choices for the two main roles. Luckily, both boys and their parents consented to the extensive nudity in the script.
The film was shot on location on Vieques Island in Puerto Rico, the same island on which Lord of the Flies was filmed only five years earlier. Both films are about boys stranded on a desert island without adult supervision.
"Robby: [first words to the boy who just saved his life] Does your mother know you're going around with no pants?"
"Robby: You taught me how to swim, and I made you a pair of pants!"
