Did you know

• In the scene where the church is blown up, the movie's crew didn't realize until after the destruction (in one take, of course) that there was no film in the camera. The church had to be rebuilt and blown up again. As of a few years ago, it still sits on a lot at Buena Vista studios.

• Fourteen cars, costing $155,000, were destroyed in the film's climatic demolition sequence.

• The final film for veteran character actors Patsy Kelly and Douglas Fowley and Australian actress Marjorie Bennett.
