* ActorInspiredElement: In one scene, in which Peachy Carnehan and Daniel Dravot are called to answer to a local official in colonial India on suspicion of conspiracy to blackmail. They enter and exit the scene as military men under command of "former Gunnery Sergeant" Carnehan, with him giving commands such as "Hats Off!", "About Turn!", and "Left Turn!". This was Creator/MichaelCaine's idea, inspired by the routine of command during his National Service in the British Army, and intended to show that although formally discharged from service they take pride in having been soldiers in the British Indian Army.

However, at the last minute, Creator/JohnHuston had decided to cast someone whose appearance was more in keeping with natives of Kafiristan. "We've got to find an Arab princess somewhere", he is recounted as saying over dinner with Caine.
