Trivia:
Director Nicholas Ray was certainly impressed with Robert Taylor's commitment. "He worked for me like a true Method actor," said Ray, who remembered Taylor going to an osteologist, poring over X-rays and asking probing questions so that he would have an understanding of where in his body the pain would be from his character's crippled leg.

I viewed this film in an archival print at the Pacific Film Archive in Berkeley, CA years ago and my chief memory of it is the blazing colour. I cannot think of another director who used both colour and black and white in his various films to such great advantage. In my view the use of color in film has regressed sharply since the days in which this film was made. The recent film with Dennis Quaid and Julianne Moore, a Sirkian domestic drama, used Kodak film to similar effect, so it can still be done. Remembering The film's star, Robert Taylor, also brings to mind Judy Garland and Billie Holiday, all three at about this time bringing us their valedictory performances, bringing us to tears with their aging and beautiful souls, veterans of a time that will never come again.
