From IMDb: Frank Sinatra loathed the non-singing Marlon Brando for getting the starring role, while Sinatra got a lesser part. His nickname for the sometimes barely comprehensible Brando was "Mumbles."

From IMDb: Brando, knowing how much Sinatra hated cheesecake, had purposely flubbed each take so that Sinatra would have to eat piece after piece of cheesecake.

From IMDb: When the description of Morrison is given on the radio at the hotel, the only thing missing was the suspect's height, possibly to avoid embarrassment to star Alan Ladd, who was only 5'6".

From IMDb: Tom Conway recreates his character of Dr. Judd from Cat People (1942). In memos and early drafts of the script, Conway's character was referred to as "Mr. Siegfried". Film scholars believe that the character's name was changed to provide continuity between the two films, and to capitalize on Cat People's success. Judd's character, however, had died in Cat People, calling into question the relation of the two fictional narratives.

From IMDb: The original story for the film (outlined by DeWitt Bodeen) was to be about an orphaned heroine caught in a web of murder against a background of the Signal Hills oil wells. If she didn't find out the killer's identity in time, she would become his seventh victim. Producer Val Lewton wanted the story to go in a different direction and called in a second writer to help reshape it.

From IMDb: Gary Cooper was very pleased with his performance and very disappointed that the majority of critics thought him miscast due to his age. Indeed, the film's box-office failure was largely attributed to his being considered too old to play Audrey Hepburn's lover. In April 1958 he had a full facelift and other cosmetic surgery, but the procedure was largely unsuccessful.

Because the 65mm film required more light for a proper exposure, the actors worked under much hotter than usual conditions due to all the extra lights used.

Mary Pickford purchased the rights to this film hoping to produce a remake starring Humphrey Bogart and Lillian Gish.
