Did You Know?
| Trivia | Susan Blakely's nude open crotch shot is reportedly one of the first instances of such a thing for a leading actress in a mainstream Hollywood film. It wouldn't be so graphically repeated until Sharon Stone's notorious scene in Basic Instinct (1992) 17 years later. See more » |
| Goofs | Al Capone's scar was not caused by broken glass from a window, but by a knife wound in an argument between he and Frank Gallucio over a remark he made to Gallucio's sister Lena at the Harvard Inn on Coney Island in 1917. See more » |
