William Holden was originally cast with top billing. However, he later pulled out and was replaced by Trevor Howard. Errol Flynn was then given top billing, even though Howard had the lead role.
In his 1959 autobiography "My Wicked, Wicked Ways", Errol Flynn wrote that he enjoyed making this film more than any other.
This was Errol Flynn's last major film before his death the following year. His final film was Cuban Rebel Girls (1959).

All that's beautiful has got to go. All that's free! Soon we'll be alone on this earth with nothing to destroy but ourselves!"
"Cy Sedgewick: [about Morel] I like him. He spits on us, on all of us, and he's right! I've been waiting all my life for somebody to spit on me. Now someone finally has the guts to do it, you know what? Suddenly it gets to be almost bearable to be a man."
