    Storyline

    • Trivia
      According to Mia Farrow's book, "What Falls Away", her father John Farrow and Ava Gardner were having an affair during filming in 1953. Mia married Gardner's ex-husband Frank Sinatra in 1966.
    • Goofs
      When Jose throws a knife closely past Barton's head, the knife zips past Jose before his arm finishes the throwing motion. This is probably because the knife was either mechanically propelled or thrown by an off-screen expert to make the stunt safer than it would be if the actor had thrown the knife.
    • Quotes

      Jose Esqueda: Can you imagine a smile on Barton's face?

      Rio: It's the only place where a smile could be ugly.

    Quinn is outstanding, others are just standing around
    Watch this movie for Anthony Quinn's unhinged performance. Do not expect anything from anybody else in the movie. The color is great, locations are great. Ava Gardner looks like she's shell-shocked. But Quinn is at his best and that was pretty damn good.
