What's left behind the scenes

  • The bartender at the establishment where Parnell drinks is named Toivo, and the guard in the prison is named Sulo. Both names are Finnish. The film is set in Michigan, where a large Finnish diaspora was formed and now resides as a result of mass migration from the mid-19th to the mid-20th century.
  • James Stewart's (1908-1997) father disliked the film so much that he spent money on an advertisement in the local newspaper strongly advising people not to see it.
  • The film faithfully and meticulously recreates the 1952 court case handled by lawyer John D. Volcker (1903-1991), who later wrote a novel of the same name under the pseudonym Robert Traver. All the details are preserved: Lieutenant Coleman Peterson shot bartender Maurice Chenoweth, accusing him of raping his beautiful, but often frivolous wife. The lieutenant claimed he was temporarily insane at the time of the murder, and the psychiatrist called it an "irresistible impulse." Peterson’s jury acquitted him, after which he immediately left with his wife, without paying court costs, but leaving a note stating that he was experiencing an "irresistible impulse" to leave.
