In 1967, musician David Bowie cited this film in a letter to fan Sandra Dodd: "I was watching an old film on TV the other night called "No Down Payment" a great film, but rather depressing if it is a true reflection of The American Way of Life."
Inspiration for the long-running prime time TV soap opera Knots Landing (1979).
Fox President Spyros P. Skouras was furious with production chief Darryl F. Zanuck when " No Down Payment" was banned in Ireland and Sweden, and also had restricted showings in Britain due to its adult nature.
The housing development shown in the film as "Sunrise Hills" is actually the Marquez Hills neighborhood in Pacific Pallisades, California. In the first half of 2018, the median sales price of a house there was $2.7M. A lot of the houses seen in the film have since been torn down and replaced.
According to a reviewer of the film in the September 30, 1957 edition of Daily Variety, in the novel upon which this film is based, the family looking to move into the neighborhood was African-American and not Japanese-American as depicted in this picture.
"Jerry Flagg: I couldn't come home. I was feeling so punk."
"Troy Boone: You better get hep to yourself, mister."
