This was the first of six films that Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas made together over the decades, including Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (1957) with Lancaster as Wyatt Earp and Douglas as Doc Holliday, The Devil's Disciple (1959) with Laurence Olivier, The List of Adrian Messenger (1963) with George C. Scott and John Merivale, Seven Days in May (1964) with Fredric March and Ava Gardner, and Tough Guys (1986). Douglas was always billed beneath Lancaster but, with the exception of I Walk Alone and The List of Adrian Messenger, their roles were almost of equal importance.
A restoration of the film played at the Noir City festival at the Castro Theatre in February 2018. The movie was officially released on home video for the first time on July 24, 2018.
