The little baby girl who appears at the beginning of the movie is the daughter of Howard Duff and Ida Lupino.
Ida Lupino was married to Howard Duff when this film was made and was also having an affair with costar Steve Cochran
Sam Peckinpah (credited as David Peckinpah) was dialogue director on this film.
According to Don Siegel in his biography, he and Ida Lupino - whose the producing company belonged to - often argued about some over the shoulders camera shots. They hardly understood each other.
Ida Lupino, who co-wrote this film and stars as Emerald Club singer Lili, probably named the establishment after her mother, Connie Emerald.
"Lilli Marlowe: Ever since I was a little girl, I dreamed I'd meet a drunken slob in a bar who'd give me fifty bucks and we'd live happily ever after."
"Cal Bruner: [Questioning Lilli about a hot $50 bill] Where'd you get the $50? Lilli Marlowe: You know, I've seen all this on "Dragnet". Cal Bruner: Save the jokes for the customers."
