- Creator Backlash: Years after the release, Sidney Poitier stated that "Cold feet maneuvered to have it twisted around - lining up the colored guy with the colored girl" and that United Artists had "chickened out" and "took the spark out of it".
- Executive Meddling: While the original novel and first draft of the screenplay were primarily about interracial romance, United Artists demanded that aspect be changed, not believing that the American public was ready for such a thing. The finished film briefly teases at the idea before abandoning it.
- What Could Have Been: Marlon Brando's Pennebaker Films co-produced the film and Brando was supposed to star opposite Marilyn Monroe until they both lost interest.
