Maracaibo was actor Cornel Wilde's second directorial effort. Wilde casts himself as troubleshooting oil man Vic Scott, who has arrived in Venezuela to help put out a fire at an offshore well. It's a ticklish situation: if Scott fails, not only will he die in the blaze, but all of Maracaibo will likely be destroyed. When he isn't risking his life, Scott romantically pursues ice-princess journalist Laura Kingsley (played by Jean Wallace, at the time Mrs. Cornel Wilde). Joe E. Ross of Car 54 Where are You fame provides a few welcome laughs as a Brooklynese oil rigger. Filmed partially on location, Maracaibo was based on a novel by Stirling Silliphant.

The whole crew were lovely, especially the guys who were lighting the film, Lee Electrics who were great but unfortunately they grew to dislike Cornel because he had no understanding of their Cockney sense of humour. Cornel's wife Jean Wallace who, like him, had acted in Hollywood, co-starred. Jean was not supposed to drink but one of the crew gave her some scrumpy and told her it was apple juice. Not only did she get off her head on it but she ... gave some to their small child.
