  • When Robert Altman decided to adapt Edward Anderson's book, he was not at all aware that Nicholas Ray had previously adapted the book as the cult classic They Live by Night (1949).
  • Louise Fletcher's first movie role. She was married to the film's producer Jerry Bick at the time.
  • Robert Altman personally cut Shelley Duvall's hair for the scene between Bowie and Keechie on the porch.
  • Movie Goof (anachronisms): In one of the old radio clips early in the film, the announcer talks about Seabiscuit winning the $25,000 Butler Handicap at Empire City Race Track. The actual date of Seabiscuit winning that race is July 10, 1937, which would place it after the end of the movie which concludes in the Spring of 1937.
