Trivia

Against the director's expectations, authorization was received to film a sequence where an unmarked all-black T-33 was fleeing at low-altitude over Paris to avoid radar. The production crew were limited to three passes by the unidentified aircraft over the Seine; in case of mishap, the plane would crash in the water, rather than on the city. The scene caused panic as people on the ground feared a genuine attack was taking place. See more »
