Ray Corrigan, a Western actor, was an experienced "gorilla man," and played a similar role earlier that year in The White Gorilla (1945), where he starred both as a jungle explorer and the gorilla. The "White Pongo" costume was years later brought out of storage to be used as the monster suit in Jerry Warren Abominable Snowman movie, Man Beast (1956). Corrigan owned his own suits and worked as a gorilla man early in his career, starting with Tarzan the Ape Man (1932) with Johnny Weissmuller. When he finally retired from stunt work and the gorillas in 1948, he sold his suits to Steve Calvert.
The earliest documented telecasts of this film took place in New York City 2/10/49 on the Film Theater of the Air on WCBS (Channel 2) and in Los Angeles 4/30/49 on KTTV (Channel 11).
