Paul Newman and Robert Redford were each paid $500,000 for their role, the highest rate for an actor working at that time. Adjusted for inflation, that is equal to about $3 million (2021).
Robert Shaw injured his knee and incorporated the resulting limp into his performance. According to "You'll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again" by Julia Phillips, Shaw split all the ligaments in his knee after slipping on a wet handball court at the Beverly Hills Hotel a week before filming started. He had to wear a leg brace during production which was kept hidden under the wide 1930s style trousers he wore.
George Roy Hill used some 1930s stylistic techniques. The film starts with a 1930s-era Universal logo, and used editing wipes to transition between scenes and iris shots.
The movie was filmed on the backlot of Universal Studios and the diner in which Hooker meets Lonnegan is the same diner interior used in Back to the Future (1985) in which Marty McFly first meets his father and calls Doc Brown.
Robert Redford didn't see the movie until June 2004.
"Johnny Hooker: Can you get a mob together? Henry Gondorff: After what happened to Luther, I don't think I can get more than two, three hundred guys."
"Floyd: Doyle, I KNOW I gave him four THREES. He had to make a SWITCH. We can't let him get away with that. Doyle Lonnegan: What was I supposed to do - call him for cheating better than me, in front of the others?"
