According to interviews that director Joseph Losey gave in the mid-1970s to Michel Ciment, the FBI wanted to spy on him in Europe, where he relocated to work after being blacklisted by Hollywood because of his political activities. So they paid John Drew Barrymore (who became a good friend after this movie) to furnish information about Losey's political activities, if any, in London. Barrymore later met Losey in London and confessed to him about the money and expense account the FBI had given him to spy on Losey. Losey, recalling that the young actor had been under tremendous pressure at the time, forgave him and, in fact, suggested that they have several lavish meals together and put the cost on Barrymore's FBI expense account, which they promptly did.
This film marks the only screen acting appearance by future director Robert Aldrich. He was Joseph Losey's assistant on the film (not their only collaboration), and Aldrich often said that he felt closest to Losey of all the directors he had worked with during his long apprenticeship as an assistant - others included Charles Chaplin, Jean Renoir, and Lewis Milestone. He also said, jokingly, that Losey had only used him as an actor "because he knows how self-conscious I am".

"George La Main: Why's he get so burned up just 'cause I talk about Frances? She hasn't been around in a couple weeks. More. The way they were getting along, I thought they'd end up being married. Flanagan: How long you, your dad and I live together? George La Main: About sixteen years, since my mother died. Flanagan: Yeah, since then. Sixteen years to learn better than to ask me something that your father won't tell you."
