What's left behind the scenes
- The screenplay was based on Mickey Spillane's novel about detective Mike Hammer (1952). Because the novel dealt with drugs, it was officially deemed unsuitable for filming. To overcome this difficulty, screenwriter A.I. Bezzerides completely transformed the plot, filling it with noir clichés and fears of the atomic age. He came up with the hot "nuclear briefcase" and the apocalyptic finale, and also moved the action from New York to California.
- The girl on the highway and the hero's secretary were played by debutantes.
- Filming took place in Los Angeles, and many of the neighborhoods and establishments that appeared in the film were already slated for demolition. Thus, the film can serve as a guide to the Californian metropolis at the intersection of different eras.
- Before the film's release, Aldrich published an article in the New York Herald Tribune in which he attempted to reassure fans of Mike Hammer, who were alarmed by the careless attitude towards the literary source. The film's road to wide release was a thorny one. Guardians of public morality sent the director a petition demanding more than 30 changes to the film.
- In 1999, the film was added to the National Film Registry.
