Trivia

The movie shows Union Station in its heyday. Due to closures and a subway that was built, many of the scenes in "Union Station" (ie the scenes involving the ransom payments) cannot be shot again in the same way.

The chase scene on the elevated train used the Third Ave El in New York City for long shots and the Pacific Electric Railway cars in L.A. for close in shots on the train.

Robert Cornthwaite`s film debut.

There were 2 former mayors of Mayberry in this movie: Parley Baer (Mayberry mayor Stoner) was a cop and Dick Elliott (Mayberry mayor Pike) was a powerhouse workman.
