It resembles Journey's End in having an all-male cast and a rigid youth (Philip Truex, son of Actor Ernest Truex) whose gibberings point up the venomous fortitude of the others. To forestall suspicion which might have occurred to auditors who knew that Correspondent Russell Owen of the Byrd Expedition had helped with the script and setting, the producers warned in the program that The World Waits is based on fact "in no sense other than purely creative."
