Production notes
The storyline is based on the novel Four Horse Players Are Missing (1960) by Alexander Rose, who also plays a minor role in the film (as Mr. Goody). This novel, in turn, was closely related to Damon Runyon's short story Little Miss Marker.
Many of the scenes were filmed on-location in and outside of the luxurious penthouse apartments in the historic Talmadge building on Los Angeles's Wilshire Boulevard.
