Anecdotes
In his autobiography, cinematographer Oswald Morris recalled how John Huston showed very little interest or enthusiasm for directing this movie and would arrive late on-set, largely unprepared for the day's schedule. It often was left to Morris and the crew to fill the gap and set up the shots for the day for when Huston eventually arrived and also to help Paul Newman, who also was disappointed by Huston's attitude.

Gaffes

Citations
Slade: [musing poetically] I'm going home.
[quoting poetry]
Slade: 'Sleep after toil, port after stormy seas, ease after war, death after life does greatly please.'
Joseph Rearden: [laconically] I don't know about you, Slade; I'm not ready for death. The rest I'll drink to.

Autres versions
UK theatrical release was cut for violence to secure an AA rating with heavy edits to the beating of Reardon and shots of Gerda being kicked and hit with a gun. All later video and DVD releases are uncut and 15 rated.

Little-Seen Thriller.

John Huston directed this little-seen thriller that stars Paul Newman as Joseph Reardon, a member of British Intelligence sent on an undercover mission by his boss Mr. Mackintosh(played by Harry Andrews) in a prison where he is given a fictitious criminal background in order to infiltrate a criminal gang where the leaders are imprisoned. He assists in their eventual escape which leads from Ireland to Malta. His contact(played by Dominique Sanda) is a beautiful but aloof woman who has her own personal reasons for the assignment, which includes a Parliament member(played by James Mason) who isn't what he pretends to be... OK espionage thriller with good cast and direction, though the plot does seem overly complicated at times.
