Interesting facts

Cash McCall is a 1960 American romantic drama film in Technicolor from Warner Bros. Pictures, produced by Henry Blanke, directed by Joseph Pevney, and starring James Garner and Natalie Wood. The film's screenplay by Lenore J. Coffee and Marion Hargrove is based upon the novel of the same name by Cameron Hawley.

Production

This was one of three theatrical films produced with Garner as leading man during the period in which he was still playing the lead in the Warner Bros. television series Maverick (the other two were Darby's Rangers and Up Periscope). Garner subsequently left the studio upon winning a contentious lawsuit and continued his movie career.

Garner wrote in his memoirs that he felt it was "not much of a movie, but I liked Natalie."
