Production
- There were several screenplay drafts written—one by Vertigo co-writer Alec Coppel -- prior to the final draft by Anthony Veiller, who receives sole screen credit.
- Character actor Jan Merlin portrays several of the disguised roles in the film, despite attribution to stars such as Kirk Douglas. Merlin later incorporated his experiences working on this production into a thriller novel, Shooting Montezuma (ISBN 1-4010-2823-3).
