Trivia
This was the first film on which Stanley Kubrick worked with a cinematographer.

The two often did not agree on camera and lighting matters. See more »Goofs
Continuity: During the robbery you clearly see that a significant amount of the money is in neatly banded bundles of brand new crisp bills yet when it is transferred from the dufflebag to the suitcase all of the money is loose, unstacked & well used. See more »Quotes
