Did You Know?
| Trivia | Leslie Howard and Humphrey Bogart had played the same roles in the stage version. Warner Bros. wanted to put Howard in the film but replace Bogart with Edward G. Robinson. Howard insisted on Bogart, sending a telegram to Jack L. Warner which read "Insist Bogart play Mantee; no Bogart, no deal." Bogart would later name his second child with Lauren Bacall Leslie, in honor of Howard, the man who gave him his first big break. See more » |
| Goofs | The only obvious location shots are in what is now Red Rock Canyon State Park in California, which is in the Mojave Desert and the site where many movie scenes were shot. Joshua trees, which don't grow near the Petrified Forest in AZ, can be seen. So this is a a minor error. The park is fun place to visit, as it has guides to where dozens and dozens of scenes were filmed. See more » |

Alan Squier:
The trouble with me, Gabrielle, is I, I belong to a vanishing race. I'm one of the intellectuals. Gabrielle Maple: That, that means you've got brains! Alan Squier: Hmmm. Yes. Brains without purpose. Noise without sound, shape without substance. See more » |
