Quiz
Years after this film was made, Paul Newman and Shelley Winters appeared together as guests on The Tonight Show. When Johnny Carson asked Winters, "Have you and Paul ever worked together?", Winters replied, "No, we haven't had the opportunity." Newman did an astonished double-take. "We haven't? What was I in Detective's Story (1966)? Chopped liver?" To her chagrin, Winters admitted that she had forgotten about the movie. Newman was incredulous. "I made love to you for two days, in front of the cameras! you tell me you forgot about that."

Blooper
After Harper (played by a stuntman) dives through the shed window he runs between some dilapidated ship vent stacks. As the stuntman moves behind the stack, one can see Harper's (Newman) head sticking out on the other side and the stuntman's hind side out the other. The size of the combined Harper at that point is probably more than10 feet tall.

Citazioni
Lew Harper: The bottom is loaded with nice people, Albert. Only cream and bastards rise.

Versioni alternative
When originally released theatrically in the UK, the BBFC made cuts to secure a 'A' rating. All cuts were waived in 1995 when the film was granted a '12' certificate for home video.

8/10

All the 1960's cliches on one piece of film!

It's a "good" thing. From the go-go music and dancing, to the fearless overacting, to the multiple cameos (that Shelley Winters as an over-eating amorous drunk - wow!) by a who's who of famous actors, this film has everything but snappy editing. Enjoyable mainly for its unpredictability and seeing actors given free reign with their characters (Robert Wagner doing a bad James Cagney out of the blue!).

Enjoyable. If I had reviewed this in the 60's I'd have given it a "5". In 2002, I give it an "8".
