1950's blonde bombshell Gloria Pall has a small part in the beginning of the movie playing a peasant girl being held down on the couch as Fyodor Karamazov tickles her feet with a feather. She was cast after an audition that consisted entirely of being tickled on her feet by an assistant. She beat out 11 other actresses who were tested the same way because she was the most ticklish.
This film is supposedly one of the reasons Marilyn Monroe ran away from Fox, because she wanted to star in something serious. They lured her back to the studio with Bus Stop (1956).
The presence of Philip G. Epstein in the writing credits indicates that this film had been a project long in the works in Hollywood - Epstein had died six years before the film appeared. Director Richard Brooks had wanted to make the film in Russia, something quite impossible, of course, in the darkest days of the Cold War. MGM had insisted very firmly that the film made at their studios in Culver City, and several familiar standing sets from other MGM films appear in the movie. It was a box-office and critical failure, although it has gained in reputation somewhat over the years.

"Smerdjakov: If you'll permit a comment, sir, you're not at all like your brother Dmitri. Ivan Karamazov: Half-brother. Smerdjakov: You're different from all of them. I could see that the first minute you arrived yesterday. Intelligence, audacity, cleverness... Ivan Karamazov: You've just never met anyone who lives in Moscow. Smerdjakov: No sir, it's those magazine articles you wrote, the ones about crime. Ivan Karamazov: [pauses] You enjoyed them. Smerdjakov: [takes out a magazine clipping, reads it] There is nothing in the world to make man love their neighbors. If there is no God, then nothing can be immoral. Everything becomes lawful, even crime. Crime becomes not only lawful, but inevitable."
"Alexi Karamazov: How can anybody spend five thousand rubles at one time? Dmitri Karamazov: I admit it requires skill, brother."
