The abandoned movie studio location in the film is the former Charlie Chaplin Studio on La Brea, which later became A&M Records (and was the site where "We Are the World" was recorded).

The music was composed by Perry Botkin Sr., who also composed music for The Beverly Hillbillies (1962), with some of the music from this movie used in the television series. Fans of the television series will recognize this familiar theme around the 13-minute mark of this movie.

"Mr. Moon: I'm a retired real estate broker. I don't do anything anymore but sit in my room, look at television, and smoke cigars. Claude: I'd still like to work for you. Mr. Moon: Doing what? Claude: I want to be a contractor. Mr. Moon: Have you done it before? Claude: No, sir. Mr. Moon: You can only make a mistake once in this job. Claude: Well, I'm different. Mr. Moon: What do you mean you're different? Claude: I don't make mistakes. Mr. Moon: Then how come you're out of a job?"
"Claude: The only type killing that's safe is when a stranger kills a stranger. No motive. Nothing to link the victim to the executioner. Now why would a stranger kill a stranger?

There are a lot of people around that would like to see lots of other people die a fast death... only they can't see to it themselves. They got conscience, religion, families. They're afraid of punishment here or hereafter. Me... [laughs] Claude: I can't be bothered with any of that nonsense, I look at it like a good business. The risk is high but so is the profit."
