Production

Robert Aldrich had just been fired from making The Garment Jungle:

I couldn't get a job. Now that year was over, and I couldn't get a job. It goes back to staying at the table. Anybody that stays away for awhile, voluntarily or involuntarily, risks never coming back. Then somebody brought me The Phoenix. I figured I might as well get out of town, so I rewrote it much to its detriment and went to Germany.

It was only the second film from the newly formed Seven Arts Productions. The original title was The Phoenix and it was also known as 6 to 1 and The ExtraEdge.

Filming took place in West Berlin over a ten-week period. The movie features, in a small role, Jim Hutton, who was serving in the American army in West Berlin at the time.
