* HypotheticalCasting:
** Creator/DennisHopper was considered for Bud Stamper. He named this as one of the roles he wished he'd got.
** Creator/JaneFonda tested for Deanie. When Creator/EliaKazan asked her if she was ambitious, she said no (even though she was) because "good girls aren't supposed to be ambitious." Fonda believes this was the reason for her not getting the role. Creator/LeeRemick was also considered but had to withdraw when she became pregnant.

* WrittenInInfirmity: Right before shooting was set to begin, Pat Hingle suffered devastating injuries when he accidentally fell 54 feet down an elevator shaft in his apartment building. It would take Hingle over a year to fully recover from the accident. In the meantime, however, he decided to go ahead and do the film - he would simply incorporate his limp into the character. "I broke everything," Hingle said later. "I landed upright, so I broke hips and knees and ankles and ribs, and that sort of thing. That lurching walk that Ace Stamper has - that was as good as I could walk."
