Trivia
With a budget of $5,000,000 it was the most expensive film ever produced by an African American (William Alexander) at that time.
Co-writer Samuel Fuller was originally set to direct, but walked off the project.
'Sam Fuller' submitted a screenplay that was almost completely different from what was filmed. Among other things, the Lee Marvin character was not a sheriff, but a KKK leader whose racist viewpoint is completely changed around. However, Paramount got nervous by the provocative nature of the screenplay and ordered it rewritten, infuriating Fuller (who left the project because of this) and Marvin (who wanted out but had already signed a contract.)
