The nine-minute documentary was produced in 2001 and directed by David Gregory. It includes interviews with screenwriter Christopher Wicking and leading actress Valerie Leon.

The documentary speaks about the difficulties involved with production of the film, beginning with the unexpected departure of leading actor Peter Cushing, who was forced to drop out of the movie after one day of shooting after learning that his wife, Helen, had been diagnosed with emphysema.
