Three Violent People

Produced immediately after Charlton Heston completed The Ten Commandments (1956) and reunited him with co-star Anne Baxter. This was Heston's last film under his original Paramount contract. He felt that Tom Tryon, who was cast as his brother, was not right for the part. However, because "The Ten Commandments" had not yet been released, Heston hadn't yet achieved the star clout necessary to demand cast changes. (Later, in "The Actor's Life: Journals 1956-76", Heston writes that " ... he was very good in the part. We were lucky to have him".)

At one point the sun goes down, the screen is black for several seconds, then the sun comes up - in exactly the same spot, with exactly the same clouds.
