This film was originally written to star King Kong, as Rankin/Bass Productions had provided Toho with the license to the character in order to produce a tie-in film for their animated TV series King Kong (1966) (which was co-produced with another Japanese film studio, Toei). However, Rankin/Bass rejected the original screenplay for the film and Toho decided to replace King Kong with Godzilla. This explains some of the behavior of Godzilla in the film, such as being attracted to the Infant Island girl Daiyo. Toho and Rankin/Bass would then go on to co-produce King Kong - Il gigante della foresta (1967), which was more in line with what Rankin/Bass wanted.
