- Original British version, "Ice Cold in Alex," runs 130 minutes. U.S. distributor shortened the film in 1961 to 76 minutes and released it as "Desert Attack."
- When originally released theatrically in the UK, the BBFC made cuts to secure a 'A' rating. All cuts were waived in 1988 when the film was granted a 'PG' certificate for home video.
- The pre-censored running time on the BBFC website has a submission time of 137 minutes 58 seconds for the 1958 UK Theatrical release prior to being cut for the actual release. This suggests there is a longer print than the widely accepted 'uncut' theatrical version of 130 minutes.
