- Yes. The film was made by Gerry Anderson, the guy responsible for
- puppet shows like Thunderbirds, Joe 90, Stingray, Captain Scarlet,
- Supercar, Terrahawks (should I mention this one? :-)), etc. I believe
- he had a fling with making films (or more precisely using actors
- and live action rather than puppets, hence the UFO series) but gave up
- on the idea and admitted that he was destined to make puppet shows...
