Controversial in depiction of its subject matter, this movie obviously had its detractors regarding this and its content. However, Director Martin Scorsese, director of Taxi Driver (1976) and Mean Streets (1973), came out and defended this movie. Apparently, Dawn Steel and Scorsese were at a Paramount dinner function when a disagreement allegedly broke out between them. Scorsese apparently said that the Academy didn't have the guts to nominate the best movie of the year. That picture was this film. About twenty-four years later, Scorsese won a Best Director Oscar for the crime drama The Departed (2006).

Ramrod's apartment and the police station were the only sets created for the film; everything else was shot on location.

As Season moves past the candles and flowers in the wedding scene with the old man in the mansion, a cameraman and camera are clearly visible on the right side of the scene.

At the morgue, right after the cop yells the line "Look at her, Princess!", Ginger's eyes clearly blink even though she is supposedly dead.
