Trivia
- In the "road-tarring" sequence, the actors actually blacktopped a mile-long stretch of highway for the county.
- Two hundred hard-boiled eggs were provided for one of the film's most famous sequences. Due to clever editing, Paul Newman only ate about eight altogether. The rest were consumed by the cast and crew, which led to extreme cases of flatulence the next day.
- Morgan Woodward [Boss Godfrey (The Man With No Eyes)] remained in character during breaks between scenes. He would sit in his chair, still wearing his mirrored sunglasses, and not speak to anyone.
