Ernest Borgnine met his future wife Katy Jurado while working on this film. A reporter saw the two laughing over lunch one day and started a rumor that the two were involved romantically, which Borgnine insisted for the rest of his life was not true. The story persisted, though, and Borgnine's wife ended up divorcing him because of it. Ironically, he and Jurado grew closer and closer because of this trouble, and ended up marrying in 1959 and would remain so until 1963.
This was produced during the famed musician's strike of 1958, forcing MGM to score it with stock cues from earlier films, many of them sub-standard and/or inappropriate to the scene in question. It remains the film's chief sore spot.
The opening scene, of Alan Ladd's character being released from prison, was, as scripted, actually filmed at the Yuma Territorial Prison in Yuma, Arizona.
This film failed at the box office, resulting in a loss to MGM of $373,000 ($3.77M in 2022) according to studio records.
Alan Ladd (Peter Van Hoek) is quoted as saying: "Personally, I do. I've even forgotten the Alamo.", in responding to whether he can trust hiring a Mexican. Ladd played Jim Bowie in The Iron Mistress (1952). Bowie famously died at the Alamo, though The Iron Mistress ends before that significant event.
"Cyril Lounsbery: How much would you love me if I wasn't rich? Ada Winton: Not as much. Cyril Lounsbery: I didn't think so. Ada Winton: How much would you love me if I weren't pretty? Cyril Lounsbery: Well, that's a different cup of tea. Ada Winton: No it isn't. A man being rich is exactly like girl being pretty. So there!"
"Peter Van Hoek: You know, there's not a rich man that doesn't want to be richer."
