Trivia
Was filmed in Cuba and confiscated due to the Fidel Castro takeover of the country. As such, it was released later than planned.

Goofs
At one point, the sister trashes the door to her motel room. When we see it a short while later, it's pristine. That fly-by-night motel must have some handyman.

Quotes
[last lines]
Sheriff Skinner: [about finding out who killed Corey] Look, Mr. Wilson, I'm a law enforcement officer, not a philosopher, not a preacher, and a law enforcement officer's gotta take sort of a straightforward view of things. So now, I think we better go and talk with your sister, Mr. Wilson.

Surprisingly excellent movie!

I'm not sure why so many people have denigrated this movie. In the fabulous 50s this type of issue wasn't talked about or even whispered. I salute the director and producers for thinking outside the norms of the day. Miss Farrell was amazing in her first role. Low budget yes, but low budget doesn't always correlate to low quality. I stumbled into this movie by accident but would recommend to others to give it a try. For its time they surely would have had difficulty getting funding and promotion as Hollywood seldom sticks out their neck to reach beyond the cookie cutter scripts they celebrate. Well done.
