Trivia:
According to cinematographer James Wong Howe, director Martin Ritt wanted to photograph this film in black and white, but was not allowed to do so by Paramount. By 1970, studios were concerned that B&W films would not make as much money when broadcast on television, possibly for fear that they would be considered "old" films. more

Davies:
They'll respect you now. It's about the only thing they do respect round here, a blow and a hard head.

Good story line. Well played. Excellent cast, with some lesser seen actors. Enjoyed this film throughout. Constantly moving story. Historically accurate as I understand. Good example of Sean Connery's earlier (non-Bond) work.
