Trivia and QuotesTrivia The focus of the novel dealt with homophobia, but the subject was changed to anti-Semitism for the film. It was suggested that one of the reasons why the film failed to win any Oscars was due to Director Edward Dmytryk and Producer Adrian Scott`s refusal to testify before the House Unamerican Activities Committee. Despite receiving an Academy Award nomination, Robert Ryan rarely talked about his breakthrough role as he wasn`t too happy about the negative aspects of his character. Edward Dmytryk opted to use a noir lighting style because of its inexpensiveness and the fact that it was invariably very quick to set up. This explains why the film only took 20 days to shoot. Because of the film`s tight shooting schedule, it was able to beat the similarly themed Gentleman`s Agreement (1947) into theaters by three and a half months. Gloria Grahame later said that Ginny in this movie was her favorite role. Robert Mitchum hated making the film, later claiming that any American actor could have played Keeley. | ||
