He also said all four had difficulties on the salt flats breaking down regularly although the Ducatis reached 150mph for some shots. As for his own exploits, Donaldson admitted that the highest motorcycle speed he achieved was 65mph.
d.		Elizabeth Taylor was shooting The Only Game in Town at the same time as this film was in production. While that film is set in Las Vegas, Taylor demanded that director George Stevens shoot in France so she could be close to her husband, Richard Burton, who was filming Staircase with director Stanley Donen. This caused the budget of The Only Game in Town to grow higher than most large-scale, high-profile films that Fox was producing at the time. Ironically, the production of Staircase was moved to France to save money.
