Mercedes McCambridge recalls in her autobiography The Quality of Mercy that while shooting the film in the Miami area, they hired a local boy to play the secondary part of Hoke Adams, a Southern-styled bully and skirt-chaser. She recalled: "He was kinda cute, but he was always disappearing into the bushes with a scantily clad Florida dollie. I didn't catch his name, the crew called him "hot pants," but his paycheck, meager though it was, was paid to the order of Burt Reynolds ... cute but girl-crazy! Probably never amount to much."
