Kubrick originally set the sequence to the Scherzo from Felix Mendelssohns "Midsummer Nights Dream."

Carter, already up to his knees in water on the sinking Orca, held his Nagra (tape recorder) up over his head and screamed, "F**k the actors, save the sound department!" During the accident, the film camera was submerged, so its film, still submerged in sea water, was flown to a New York film lab where technicians were able to save the film. The accident is described starting at 01:30:07 in "The Making of Jaws" on the 30th Anniversary edition DVD.
d.		Stanley Kubrick was initially forced by MGM to have Alex North (who had written the score for Kubricks Spartacus) compose an original score for the 2001. Kubrick, however, always intended to use classical music for the film. He allowed North to score the first half of the film before informing him they planned to use only sound effects for the second half. It wasnt until he was watching the film at its premier in New York that North discovered that his music had not been. North later reused themes composed for 2001 in the films The Shoes of the Fisherman, Shanks, and Dragonslayer. Norths original score was unheard for 25 years until composer Jerry Goldsmith re-recorded it for Varese Sarabande in 1993. In 2007, however, Intrada, working with Alex Norths estate, released Norths personal copies of the 1968 recording sessions on CD.

Because Anatole Litvak was a Russian Communist, the leftist slant to "Out of the Fog" stood out to the people at the Hays office, though given the historical context to the times in which this movie was made, it is obviously more anti-Nazi than pro-communist. Nonetheless, the Hays office just had to have their finger in the pie and would not allow the protagonists to kill off Harold Goff, as they had in every performance of the original story, Irwin Shaws play "The Gentle People," and John Garfields character had to die accidentally, giving the ending an interesting twist, which, as some critics noted, made the story even better.
