Despite signs that read Idlewild International Airport, the airport scenes were filmed at the clearly recognizable Los Angeles International Airport, including the long corridor of mosaic tile that Cliff Robertson runs down and - reflected in a window of a door when Robertson leaves the terminal and walks downstairs to the tarmac - the famous Theme Building. At the time, TWA's Los Angeles hub had a dedicated office that assisted TV, commercial and film production at LAX. As a result, most airport scenes feature TWA as the airline. A notable exception is Bullitt (1968), which was filmed at SFO, hub to Pan Am and PSA.
The sports car being driven is a Mercedes Benz 190SL.
