      At the time he made this film, Raymond Burr's (Vargo) career was on the ascent. The following year, he played the villain Thorwald in Hitchcock's Rear Window (1954), and starred in the English language material shot for the U.S. release of Godzilla. In 1958, he was cast as his best-remembered character, the title role in the long-running CBS series Perry Mason (1957).
