Movie Trivia:
- Shot in 1968, but not released until 1975, and even then at midnight showings at the Waverly theatre in Manhattan.
-
Robert Strauss' final film.
-
Bourla turned down an offer by Irving Paul Lazar to do the film with Jack Lemmon and in color, as he felt that a star would stamp self-importance to the film and the film needed to be shot in black and white. Other suggested actors by various producers included Zero Mostel, Lee Marvin, and Red Buttons.
-
The photo of a future Chinese leader in the shack, in black suit and tie, was included in the film at the time when Mao was still very much alive and a Chinese leader in capitalistic attire would have been unthinkable.
-
Dalton Trumbowas a passionate backer of the screenplay of the film and did his best to persuade various producers to produce it. Great deal of interest but no one wanted to do it with Mickey Rooney, who was Bourla's first choice for the role of Noah. It was during one of the long past-midnight meetings between Trumbo and Bourla, when the screenplay of Johnny Got His Gun (1971) was also analyzed and discussed, that Bourla suggested to Trumbo to direct it himself.
