- TriviaPeter O'Toole was originally considered for the part of Charles Norgate, which eventually went to Aldo Ray, but insisted on being cast as Monty Fitch, because he didn't want to be typecast as the Irish boyo.
- GoofsAfter requesting to open an account, Norgate exits the bank and walks down the sidewalk. An extra passes between the camera and Norgate, and the shadow of the camera is plainly visible on the extra.
- Quotes

Charles Norgate: Know what?
