Trivia
Throughout filming, the film was known as "Act Of Mercy," the title of writer Francis Clifford's novel. At the last minute, the title was changed to the meaningless Al final de la noche (1962). The front office was worried about its box-office potential and thought the new name was more dramatic, as well as being similar to Los cañones de Navarone (1961), which had been a big hit for star David Niven the previous year. It was also reported the film was re-titled for the American market.

Errores
When the airplane flies over the escaping trio, the sky is alternately very cloudy or clear.

Citas
Tom Jordan: [to his wife, Claire Jordan, as they shelter in a cave with rain pouring down outside] Look at the rain. It's like England. Do you remember when we first arrived in England? And you were expecting to find a country full of green lawns, and stately homes, and tall titled men in tweed suits, making witty remarks and eating cucumber sandwiches, hmm? Remember the first few weeks all we did was sit in the railway hotel and watch the rain, pouring down on Pennington Station... and not a Lord came near us, hmm?

Here Comes Mr Jordan

David Opatoshu as deposed President Rivera in a wing collar and goatee perhaps intentionally resembles Harold Gordon as the hapless Madero in 'Viva Zapata!'; while Derek Godfrey is truly mephistophelian as the suavely menacing, Sorbonne-educated Hernandez in this satisfactory chase drama based on Francis Clifford's 1960 novel 'Act of Mercy' set in the fictional Latin American city of Tribulacion. (The title was changed at the last minute to evoke David Niven's recent hit 'The Guns of Navarone'; which had also featured James Robertson Justice.)

As in Cuba three years earlier, the coup is here depicted as taking place on New Year's Eve; while the leaders of the Khmer Rouge were also educated at the Sorbonne, and the reference to the rough justice meted out in sports arenas anticipates what later happened in Chile.

That Niven & Caron didn't get on during filming probably enhanced the film, along with Robert Krasker's photography, Benjamin Frankel's score and the vintage 1957 Ford County Sedan station wagon in which he initially tries to smuggle Opatoshu out of the country.
