Ralph Byrd
, who had previously played Dick Tracy in four serials Republic produced in the late 30s and early 40s, was hired to replace

s "Don Giovanni". The duet is a seduction scene in which Don Giovanni convinces Zerlina to leave her fiancé.
c.
The incidental background dialogue and visuals are often nonsensical. Two examples of this are the non sequitur Latin and French phrases used by the lawyer reading Ben Richards contract, and also the end credits for the Running Man game show that play on the monitor behind Killian, which say things like "Art Direction by Red G. Bleu and Primary Colors" and "What Next: I Dont Know".
d.
In conjunction with director
David Fincher
, first time director of photography
Jeff Cronenweth
decided to shoot the film using spherical lenses instead of the more common anamorphic lenses. This was primarily because many scenes where to be shot on practical locations using practical lighting, which wouldnt provide enough luminosity for an anamorphic lens to capture the image (anamorphic lenses require more light that spherical lenses for correct exposure). The disadvantage of shooting with spherical lenses is that the negative has to be blown up for the extraction process (unlike an anamorphic negative), meaning that the final print has a grainier texture than that shot using anamorphic. However, both Fincher and Cronenweth felt that this extra grain actually suited the tone of the film, and no attempts were made to clean it up or reduce it in the post-production process.
