  • Was the first "poverty row" movie chosen by the Library of Congress for its National Film Registry, in 1992.

  • Shot in six days in mostly two locations: the hotel room and the car in front of a rear projection screen.

  • The budget PRC gave director Edgar G. Ulmer for this film was so small that the 1941 Lincoln Continental V-12 convertible driven by Charles Haskell was actually Ulmer's personal car.

  • Errol Morris' favorite film. He said of it: "It has an unparalleled quality of despair, totally unrelieved by hope."
