Sally Field once said on the A&E television show Biography: James Garner: Hollywood Maverick (2000) that her kissing scene with Garner in this picture was the best on-screen kiss she had ever had.
James Garner received his only Academy Award Nomination for his portrayal of Murphy Jones.
The Lunch Counter is in Florence, Arizona. It is in the General Store about one block south of the movie location.
One of the few films to successfully appeal its MPAA rating. In a pivotal scene with Murphy, Bobby Jack asks him if he and Emma have been "f******". The MPAA "automatic language rule" normally does not allow even a single instance of a "sexually derived" vulgarity, in a sexual context, in a PG-13 release.
Columbia Pictures really wanted Marlon Brando for his "box office allure", even though he hadn't been in a film since 1980. James Garner had played the lead male role in Victor/Victoria (1982). Martin Ritt and Sally Field insisted on Garner being in this film, resulting in his only Academy Award nomination.
"Murphy: I'm in love for the last time in my life. Emma: I'm in love for the first time in my life."
"[about his birthday cake] Emma: Okay, what is it? How old are you, Murphy? Murphy: Just set the damn thing on fire!"
