    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Some of the shots of the New England fall were shot for The Trouble with Harry (1955).
    • Goofs
      All of the women's hair styles and clothing are strictly 1957, not 1941.
    • Quotes
      • Mr. Harrington: This job starts at 3,000 a year.
      • Michael Rossi: Then we're all wasting our time. That's only $5 a week more than I was making as a teacher, Mr. Harrington
      • Mr. Harrington: But this offers you security -- a long term contract.
      • Michael Rossi: Guaranteed poverty is not security.
    • Crazy credits
      The 20th Century Fox logo plays without the fanfare.
    • Alternate versions
      (Spoiler) Originally premiered at 162 minutes. Cut by 5 minutes, shortly after premiere, reputedly in the scene involving the murder of Arthur Kennedy's character.
