What's left behind the scenes

  • The film is based on George Langelaan's 1957 novella “The Fly.”
  • The film was a huge success and also became Kurt Neumann's highest-grossing film. However, he never knew this, as he died a month after the premiere, a week before the film's wide release.
  • Kurt Neumann exploited the fact that actress Pat Owens was afraid of insects by not showing her the fly makeup in advance.
  • The screenplay for this film was the first cinematic work of screenwriter James Clavell, who later became famous for his novel 'Shōgun'.
  • The lead role was initially offered to Michael Rennie, but he declined as he did not want to spend most of the film with his face obscured.
  • The props for Delambre's laboratory cost the studio only $28,000.
  • The film was included by Stephen King in his list of 100 most significant horror films from 1950 to 1980.
  • Kurt Neumann exploited the actress Pat Owens' fear of insects by not showing her the fly makeup prematurely.
