Production notes

The fictional heart-and-lung-machine prop presented an idea that was strictly science fiction at the time, but later the central idea became reality as "open-heart surgery." Later renamed "on-pump" surgery owing to the development of microsurgery that does not require stopping the heart, "on pump" requires heart stoppage, then hook-up to the pump, then operating on the repairs, and then reconnecting and reviving the patient, exactly the basic theory presented by the film.^{[citation needed]}
