Trivia
- Production began on June 18, 1952, with a budget of under $1,000,000 and a production schedule of just 18 days because of cinematographer Harry Stradling's reputation for quick work.
- Previews were held in early December 1952, with notices appearing throughout the month in Box Office, The Film Daily, The Hollywood Reporter, Motion Picture Herald and Variety.
- Early in the film, there is a scene where the script called for Robert Mitchum to slap a hysterical Jean Simmons across the face.
