O Terror Do Dr. Mudd

Surprisingly, a Nazi flag can be seen in the window of one of the houses in the far background of several shots, due to a homeowner being mad that the movie's production company wasn't paying him or any of the other homeowners. Production halted while the producers tried to reach an agreement with him. He took the flag down after the homeowners were all paid but some footage that had already been shot with the flag still made it into the movie. This homeowner was Jim Williams, an antiques dealer whose life story was the basis for the novel "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" and the subsequent 1997 film.

Mudd is seemingly the only person in the prison, who was involved with President Abraham Lincoln's assassination. In reality, there were also three others: Edward Spangler, Michael O'Laughlin and Samuel Arnold. O'Laughlin died of the yellow fever illness. Spangler and Arnold were both also released when Mudd was.
