- CuriosidadesBrian Garfield, in an introduction to a reprint of the novel on which this film is based, notes that it originally was written by director John Flynn as a period piece, intending to be set in the postwar 1940s. That's why such "film noir" veterans as Elisha Cook Jr., Richard Jaeckel, Marie Windsor, and Jane Greer appeared in it. The studio, however, decided it would be too expensive to shoot a period picture, so the script was superficially updated --- the World War II vets became Vietnam vets, and actors and actresses like Robert Ryan, Karen Black, and Sheree North joined the cast. The result was that the story was restored to its original concept. (The series on which this book was based was written and set in the then contemporary 1960s and 1970s). Had the period piece idea gone through, this would have represented a rare case of backdating a character.
- PifiasA killer fires a revolver with a silencer on the barrel. The gun would still make a loud sound due to the gap between the cylinder and the barrel.
