The young man with the transistor radio is played by Our Gang/The Little Rascals graduate Carl 'Alfalfa' Switzer in his final screen appearance before his untimely death in a shooting incident.
Robert Mitchum turned down the role of John "Joker" Jackson (Tony Curtis' role). Mitchum, who claimed to have served on a Southern chain gang when he was 14, said that he didn't believe the premise that a Black man and a white man would be chained together, as such a thing would never happen in the very-strictly-segregated South. Over the years, this reason was corrupted to the point where many people believed Mitchum turned down the role because he didn't want to be chained to a Black man, an absolute falsehood. Curtis repeated the inaccurate story in his autobiography, but recanted after it was explained to him.
A technical advisor on board during filming had to go uncredited, because he was a real-life chain-gang escapee who was still a wanted man.
The soundtrack to this film is entirely diegetic; the source of every sound is visible, or occurs on screen. Even the search party is accompanied by a character playing rock'n'roll from his transistor radio.
Co-writers Nedrick Young and Harold Jacob Smith were cast as the prison truck drivers, with the writing credits below their faces, because Young was blacklisted and writing under a pseudonym at the time, and producer Stanley Kramer wanted to identify them truthfully.
"Noah Cullen: I ain't gettin' mad, Joker. I been mad all my natural life."
"Law officier: How come they chained a white man to a black? Sheriff Max Muller: The warden's got a sense of humor."
