Anecdotes
This was Victor Mature's final film for Fox, where he had been a contract player for 15 years.

Gaffes
The car is started and put into gear so that it will crash through the barn door after which the engine stalls but, while it's still in gear, Stadt and Martin are able to easily push it out.

Citations
Mrs. Emily Fairchild: Would you like me to have you thrown out?
Linda Sherman: Why don't you get mad enough to try it. All I want is an excuse to pull that hair right out of your stupid head.

Beneath The Surface

Three hoodlums plot to rob a bank in a small town. But the town has secrets of its own: The bank president is a Peeping Tom. The librarian is a petty thief. The son of the strip-mine owner is an alcoholic; his wife is openly carrying on an affair with the local golf pro. The son of the strip-mine foreman is ashamed of him because he didn't fight in Word War II. The strip-mine nurse is the object of several men's sexual fantasies.

With a great tough guy turn by Lee Marvin as one of the bank robbers, alternately sniffing an inhaler and stomping on kids' fingers, and Ernest Borgnine as an Amish farmer (!) who isn't completely pacifistic. (Inspiration for WITNESS?) The strip-mining is a wonderful metaphor for the secrets that lurk just underneath the surface of a seemingly placid small town. Would be good on a double bill with BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK.
