Added DiffLines:

* EnforcedMethodActing: Jane Greer recalled that Creator/KirkDouglas was quite forceful with her, grabbing her so hard it left a bruise and really smacking her.
* HostilityOnTheSet: Tension developed between Creator/RobertMitchum and Creator/KirkDouglas early on during the filming. Mitchum's relaxed, laconic manner contrasted with the aggressive, grandstanding Douglas. In their first scenes, Douglas attempted some scene-stealing by manipulating distracting props, such as swinging a key chain or flipping a coin like George Raft. Creator/JacquesTourneur saw through these ploys and put a stop to them. For his part, Mitchum would retaliate by making faces when the camera was behind his head, so as to throw off Douglas' reaction shots. Eventually the one-upmanship faded, and the two let their natural styles complement each other.

* DawsonCasting: Dickie Moore plays "The Kid", despite barely being younger than the main actresses in the movie. For instance, there is only one year between him and leading lady Jane Greer, and less than five months between him and Virginia Huston.
* ThrowItIn: Creator/RobertMitchum told Creator/RogerEbert he smoked so much, that when the camera was rolling on this film and Creator/KirkDouglas offered him a pack and asked, "Cigarette?", Mitchum, realizing he'd carried a cigarette into the scene, held up his fingers and replied, "Smoking." His improvisation saved the take, and they kept it in the movie.
