Did you know
• Warren Beatty was considered for the title role.
• Director Irving Lerner met Verna Fields on the set of Spartacus (1960) where he was putting in uncredited time as a sound editor. Lerner had been signed to direct the B movie Studs Lonigan and invited Verna Fields to become the film's editor. An established sound editor, this was her first time cutting film.
• It has been claimed that the screenplay was actually written by the blacklisted writer Bernard Gordon, with Philip Yordan fronting for him; this also happened a couple of years later on "The Day Of The Triffids".
