Both Director John Huston and ex-communist star Sterling Hayden were members of the Committee for the First Amendment, which stood against the blacklisting of alleged communists working in the film industry during the Red Scare.
The musical scoring (by Miklós Rózsa) is extremely scant, occurring only for the main titles, continuing through the opening sequence up to the point where Handley enters the cafe, and then returns some 107 minutes later when Handley and Doll return to his boyhood farm. Total scoring just under 6 minutes.
Movie Goof (crew or equipment visible): When Doll was helping the wounded Dix into the doctor's office, the shadow of the camera is seen at it runs across her back.
Georgia Holt, mother of Cher tested for the role of Angela Phinlay
