David Hedison suggested that his character of Andre Delambre wear progressive makeup effects that showed him in a combined part human/part fly state when his face is finally revealed instead of just a fully formed fly head as depicted in the film. The producers declined due to the cost and time required to achieve the combined part human/part fly look, as well as it being too harsh and grotesque for audiences at the time. This concept was later embraced completely in the 1986 remake, which did focus on the scientist devolving slowly into a mutated part human/part fly creature.
