What's left behind the scenes
- Lucille Fletcher wrote the film's screenplay based on her own radio play. Hollywood censorship initially opposed those moments in Fletcher's script that touched on drug trafficking; as a result, the script was significantly edited compared to the radio version.
- The large emerald engagement ring worn by Barbara Stanwyck’s character (1907-1990) was a real – and very expensive – piece of jewelry that the studio borrowed temporarily from the Los Angeles jewelry company Harry Winston Jewelers. At the end of each shooting day, the ring was locked in Paramount Pictures’ safe.
- The jeweled cigarette case that Barbara Stanwyck’s character hands to the character played by Burt Lancaster (1913-1994) belonged to the actress herself. It was a gift from her close friend Joan Crawford (1904-1977).
- Barbara Stanwyck insisted that she started to gray so early precisely because of the terror she portrayed in the bedroom scenes.
- Director Anatole Litvak (1902-1974) and Burt Lancaster regularly argued about how the role of Henry should be played. Lancaster even threatened to leave the project altogether. On that occasion, Litvak and Lancaster resolved their differences, but they never worked with each other again.
- Former CIA Director Richard Helms (1913-2002) served as a consultant on Robert Redford’s role.
- The only feature film shot in the World Trade Center.
- The film is set in winter, but it was shot in autumn. Before filming began, the leaves had to be stripped from the trees on the streets. Robert Redford personally oversaw this process to ensure that the plants were not harmed.
