What's left behind the scenes

  • The film's plot was considered so politically sensitive that it was censored and outright banned in the countries of the former Eastern Bloc, namely Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria, as well as in neutral Finland and Sweden. The film was only released in cinemas in these countries after the collapse of the Soviet Union, in 1993.
  • Joe Adams (1922-2018), who played the psychiatrist, was the first African American actor to appear in a role where the character's race was not specifically mentioned in the script.
  • The brainwashing scene was filmed entirely three times on three sets constructed in such a way that the camera could make a full rotation around its axis on each of them. The footage from all three cameras was then edited together.
  • The scene in which Laurence Harvey (1928-1973)'s character jumps into the lake in Central Park was filmed on February 12th, the coldest day in the last 30 years. Before filming, the ice on the lake had to be broken with a bulldozer rented specifically for that purpose.
  • Normally, a shooting day begins before dawn, but the shooting day for this film started at 11 a.m. at the request of Frank Sinatra, who didn't go to bed until 5 a.m.
  • When they were preparing to film the movie based on the novel of the same name (1959), Arthur Krim, then president of United Artists and an influential figure in the Democratic Party of the United States, was very concerned about the sensitive nature of the plot. Frank Sinatra's friend, President J.F. Kennedy (1917-1963), specifically called Krim to assure him that there would be no objections.
  • The murder scene was filmed for 4 days at Madison Square Garden in New York and at a sports facility in Los Angeles, and then it was assembled.
