• Exterior shots of the hurricane were actually taken from stock footage used in Night Unto Night, a Ronald Reagan melodrama made the same year at Warner Bros.

• The character of Johnny Rocco was modeled on Al Capone, who retired to Florida and died there of complications due to advanced syphilis a year before this film was produced.

• During the confrontation between Rocco and Nora (after his shave), the scratch mark from Nora changes sides of Rocco's face.
