What's left behind the scenes

  • Gregory Peck, Charlton Heston, Marlon Brando and Montgomery Clift were invited for the lead male role. In the end, Will Kane was played by Gary Cooper. The actor suffered from a bleeding ulcer, back and hip pain, and didn't even want to film the final shootout, but still refused a stunt double.
  • Grace Kelly, who played Kane's wife, was discovered by the director in an off-Broadway production.
  • The film marked Lee Van Cleef's debut in cinema, although he doesn't utter a single line throughout the entire film.
  • During filming, Karl Foreman was blacklisted in Hollywood, and Kramer removed his name from the credits (though this didn't prevent Foreman from being nominated for an Oscar).
  • Fred Zinnemann fought against the colorization of the film, but it was done by Ted Turner's company after his death.
  • During filming, Carl Forman was blacklisted in Hollywood, and Kramer removed his name from the credits (although this did not prevent Forman from being nominated for an «Oscar»).
  • Initially, Lee Van Cleef was supposed to play Deputy Sheriff Harvey Pell, but producer Stanley Kramer decided that the actor’s nose was too “hooked,” that he looked too “villainous,” and ordered him to alter its shape. Van Cleef refused point-blank, and the role went to Lloyd Bridges. Van Cleef instead played Jack Colby, one of Miller’s bandits.
  • According to director Fred Zinnemann, the black smoke accompanying the train means that the braking system is failing and is about to break down. Zinnemann and cinematographer Floyd Crosby had no idea about this and nearly found themselves under the wheels. The tripod on which the camera was mounted fell onto the tracks, breaking the camera, but the film survived and the scene just shot made it into the film.
  • During filming, Carl Forman was blacklisted in Hollywood, and Kramer removed his name from the credits (although this did not prevent Forman from being nominated for an "Oscar").
