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.
