The Vatican bankrolled some of the film, and the Vatican liaison was a young Joseph Ratzinger, who in 2005 became the 265th Catholic Pope as Benedict XVI.
Although the movie is fiction, parts of the story were based on the early career of Cardinal Francis Joseph Spellman, Archibishop of New York from 1939 to 1967.
Tom Tryon was nominated for a Golden Globe in 1963 for his performance, but suffered immensely under Otto Preminger's notorious abusive treatment of actors. At one point during filming, Preminger fired Tryon in front of his parents when they visited the set, then rehired him after being satisfied that Tryon had been sufficiently humiliated. This type of treatment was a big turning point for Tryon, who eventually retired from acting and turned to a successful writing career.
The Special Edition DVD features the documentary "Preminger: Anatomy of a Filmmaker (1991)."
Features legendary director John Huston's only Oscar nominated on screen performance.
"Cardinal Glennon: We've never had a priest working with the Mafia before. But I suppose you made some interesting contacts in Rome. Stephen Fermoyle: I had no choice, Your Eminence. I had to work my way through the seminary by selling opium in St. Peter's Square. Cardinal Glennon: You're not afraid of me. Stephen Fermoyle: No. Cardinal Glennon: Why not? Most people are. Stephen Fermoyle: I think it's because you remind me of my father. He was known as "Den the Down Shouter," but I soon learned his roar was the only fierce thing about him. Cardinal Glennon: He's a lucky man to have a son who's not afraid of him."
"Monsignor Monaghan: For Heavens sake, get them out of the church...!"
