Production
[edit]No Man's Land was filmed in and around San Antonio, Texas in 1962,[1][4] partly on the ranch of Major General Harry H. Johnson on the S. Flores Road.[5]
The film was directed and produced by Russ Harvey.[4] Harvey played the main role in the film; he later starred (also in the lead role) in Dungeon of Horror, released in 1964.[6] These were his only contributions to the film industry. Both films were low budget productions shot in San Antonio.[7]
Various sources mention Pat Boyette as director or co-director[8]/producer of No Man's Land, even stating that he had "complete creative control"[9] over the film, which Frank T. Thompson confirms in Texas Hollywood: Filmmaking in San Antonio Since 1910.[10]
Release
[edit]No Man's Land premiered in San Antonio in January 1964.[1][11]
According to one review "the story is pointless and the acting is non existent. The best things about the movie are stock newsreel shots of actual combat."[5]
