** Creator/EliaKazan, who had directed the film adaptations of Williams' ''Theatre/AStreetcarNamedDesire'' and ''Film/BabyDoll'', declined to direct this one. He had trouble with Williams, demanding that he re-write the third act of the play to bring "Big Daddy" back on stage and was tired of having critics call him a "co-author" of Williams' work, which he knew he was not.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** This film was originally to be filmed in black and white, as was the standard practice with "artistic" films in the 1950s. (Virtually all film adaptations of the plays of Creator/TennesseeWilliams had been in B&W up to that time.) However, once Creator/PaulNewman and Creator/ElizabethTaylor were cast in the leads, director Richard Brooks insisted on shooting in color, in deference to the public's well known enthusiasm for Taylor's violet and Newman's strikingly blue eyes.
** Creator/GeorgeCukor turned down Creator/{{MGM}}'s offer to direct the film because the references to Brick's homosexuality had been removed.
** Creator/JamesDean was considered to play Brick, but died before production began. Creator/MontgomeryClift, Creator/RobertMitchum and Music/ElvisPresley passed on it.
