• This movie had a major influence on Sergio Leone, who worked with director Robert Aldrich on Sodom and Gomorrah (1962).

• Although Joseph Cotten brought all his own food and water from the States to the shoot in Mexico, it was to no avail. He was the first of the film crew to get sick.

• Rock Hudson drew unstinting praise from director Robert Aldrich, who was enormously impressed with his lack of ego and sheer professionalism.
