First filmed screenplay for writer/screenwriter Stirling Silliphant.
Harolds Club casino was opened in 1935 by brothers Harold and Raymond Smith as a seven-story casino without a hotel. In 1970 it was sold to Howard Hughes, and was sold again in December 1994. It closed three months later. Harrah's bought the property in 1999 and demolished it. The building had a 70-by-35 foot mural of old west pioneer settlers, which was saved and taken to the Reno Livestock Events Center.
Jo Ann Greer sang "Life of the Party" for Kim Novak and two years later dubbed her co-star, Rita Hayworth, in Pal Joey (1957).

Scores of hotels and dude ranches were located near Reno, where women could establish the residency requirement to be granted a divorce. This practice was seen in films such as The Women (1939), The Misfits (1961) and When the Boys Meet the Girls (1965).
The men appeared to be too old to be college students; however, at this time, many GI's would take advantage of the GI Bill and attend college when they wouldn't have earlier or otherwise.
"Brick: [to a sexy woman who is gambling] I'm a stranger in town. Can you direct me to your house?"
"Roy: [to Buck] Well, that's the trouble with liquor. You take one drink, and it makes a new man out of you. Then the new man has to have a drink too - quote and unquote."
