Director Fritz Lang and cinematographer Nicholas Musuraca developed a revolutionary dolly for the camera that allowed for sustained tracking shots and intimate close-ups while shooting this film. Lang preferred the practice of tracking into a close-up shot of an actor as opposed to cutting to a close-up in editing. He believed the tracking close-up captured more of the actors' intimacy and emotions.
Richard Conte and Ruth Storey, who play prominent roles in this picture, were married in real life at the time.
During her fight scene with Raymond Burr, Anne Baxter suffered a torn ligament.
The film was completed in just twenty days.
Sally enjoys reading bloody thrillers written by Mickey Mallet - a spoof on Mickey Spillane, whose novels featuring Mike Hammer are just as gruesome as those Sally describes.
"Sally Ellis: I didn't like Prebble when he was alive. But now that he's been murdered, that always makes a man so romantic."
"Casey Mayo: All right, now tell me just how you murdered Harry Prebble. Woman on telephone: You know how I killed him! Do you want to know why? Because I loved him. With a passion that was bigger than both of us! Casey Mayo: The size of the passion's important, lady. But tell me first, what size shoe do you wear? Woman on telephone: Shoe? 8 1/2 C. I could wear 8, it's just that 8 1/2 is more comfortable. Casey Mayo: Sorry, lady. But your feet's too big."
