 Encyclopedia: Cornel Wilde
[Cornel] Wilde had previously dealt well with the stripping away of civilized instincts in The Naked Prey, so this story must have attracted him, but No Blade Of Grass has an amateurish quality, reinforced by poor acting, though the depiction of anarchy is zestful.
Wilde also throws in a few directorial quirks of his own, which some viewers may find distracting or possibly annoying such as the extensive use of flash-forwards (and the occasional flash-back).
Although Cornel Wilde had various projects in development until his death in 1989, including a sequel to The Naked Prey, he continued to act in very films and only directed one more, the lame adventure Shark's Treasure (75).
