Fun Fact

The infamous scene where Lee Marvin's character, Vince Stone, throws a pot of scalding hot coffee in Gloria Hansen's face was not in the original script; it was an improvised act by Marvin that terrified Hansen and shocked the cast and crew, but Lang kept it in the final film for its raw brutality.
