This film did poorly at the box office, resulting in a loss to MGM of $1,596,000 (nearly $21M in 2022) according to studio records.
At the time of this production, there was a legal requirement that permission had to be obtained from well-known living public figures to be depicted on film. Several prominent scientists refused permission, including Niels Bohr, Sir James Chadwick and Lise Meitner. This unfortunately gave the film the appearance the Manhattan Project was more all-American than it really was.
Agnes Moorehead filmed a bit as a German scientist, but it was cut when the producers couldn't get a clearance from the actual scientist.
Film debut of Guy Williams.
The "thanks" for Tony Owen is actually for Owen's wife Donna Reed, who shared a finder's fee with her high school science teacher for developing the premise of the film.

In about one second it'll be wiped off the map. They'll never know what hit them. Captain William S. Parsons U.S.N.: We've been dropping warning leaflets on them for ten days now. That's ten days more warning than they gave us at Pearl Harbor."
