TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

This film was the first movie ever shown on HBO when the service premiered in 1972.

Paul Newman replaced Richard A. Colla as director.

Just before its release, there was a love scene between Michael Sarrazin and Lee Remick that was cut. This scene supposedly included nudity. In the final cut, their affair is only insinuated.

Paul Newman broke his ankle rehearsing the "grab-ass motorcycle race" sequence and filming had to be postponed for a few weeks.

The title comes from lines in the folk song "Goodnight, Irene": "Sometimes I take a great notion / To jump in the river and drown."

Popular Dialogues

"Hank Stamper: [singing] Don't ever hit your mother with a shovel. It will leave a dull impression on her mind. Paul Newman said the same line in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid"."

"Hank Stamper: [after Leeland removes his shirt to investigate a bug-bite] Where'd you learn the strip act? In college?"
