William Holden almost turned down the film because he thought he was too old at 37 to play Hal Carter.
Despite its legend, this was NOT the first movie to feature a helicopter shot. They Live by Night (1948) was an early, if not the first, film to use it (albeit in its opening shot, not the closing shot as was done in this film).
The last aerial shot of the bus and the train was filmed by Haskell Wexler, who was - at that time - James Wong Howe's assistant. The cameraman simply leaned out the open door of the helicopter for several minutes with no safety harness, with his right leg wrapped around a strut, following the bus overtaking the train below.
While selecting locals to play extras in the film, Joshua Logan said, "There's a girl with a typical Kansas face." The woman was hired for "atmosphere" but confessed, "I'm from Brooklyn. I'm just here visiting my grandmother."
For a scene in which she had to cry, Kim Novak asked director Joshua Logan to pinch her black and blue off screen, telling him, "I can only cry when I'm hurt."
"Millie Owens: When I graduate from college I'm going to New York, and write novels that'll shock people right out of their senses. I'm never gonna fall in love. Not me! I'm not gonna live in some jerkwater town and marry some ornery guy and raise some grimy kids. But just because I'm a dope doesn't mean you have to be. Madge Owens: Millie. Millie Owens: Go with him, Madge. Madge Owens: Millie? Millie Owens: For once in your life, do something right."
"Rosemary Sidney: Look at that sunset, Howard! Howard Bevans: A sunset's a beautiful thing, all right. Rosemary Sidney: It's like the daytime didn't want to end, isn't it? It's like the daytime was gonna put up a big scrap, set the world on fire to keep the night from creeping on."
