- TriviaMovie was filmed in Tucson, Arizona and the surrounding area, including the copper mine south of town.
- ErroresNear the end, Gordon is riding to the mine in a Cadillac limousine that has air conditioning, as indicated by small air scoops on both sides behind the back doors. The next shots (after the accident) show a different Cadillac without them. Cars of this era with factory installed air conditioning had half of the system in the trunk, requiring outside air via those little air scoops.

Opinión destacada
Stylish, B-Grade Noir Drama
A scheming college guy, played by a youthful Robert Wagner, tries to marry into wealth. Complications result in murder. Because of the murder angle, and because the plot centers on Wagner's sly and cunning character, the film reminds me a little of "Dial M For Murder". But, to its credit, "A Kiss Before Dying" has a darker, more brooding, noir-like quality, helped along by a 50's music score that is jazzy and slightly mournful.
Wagner's acting, if not Oscar-worthy, is at least acceptable. But Jeffrey Hunter is miscast, and therefore not convincing, as the pipe-smoking professor/detective. And Joanne Woodward gives a clinging, and altogether too whiny, performance, as the damsel in distress. A couple of interesting, if somewhat implausible, plot twists add impact to the screenplay. The film's conclusion, however, is predictable and just a tad melodramatic.
Overall, "A Kiss Before Dying" comes across as a stylish, very 1950ish, wanna-be classic. It doesn't quite succeed, but is nonetheless worth watching at least once, especially for viewers who like dark, brooding, twist-laden thrillers.
