According to the book The Films of World War II by Joe Morella, Edward Z. Epstein and John Griggs (1973), "This film is significant because of its attitude and treatment of the subject of nuclear weapons...In the version seen by the public the film ends with Gary Cooper completing his mission, rescuing the Italian scientist and accompanying him back to the Allies. He leaves
Lilli Palmer
behind him but it is implied he will return for her after the war. Director Fritz Lang has said that in the original ending the scientist dies on the plane and the British and U.S. secret service men must further pursue the Nazis. From a photo left by the scientist they surmise that the Nazis have an installation in Bavaria. They find the site has been abandoned and there is dialogue to this effect: Probably the plant is in Argentina now - or somewhere. Lang has stated that the final fadeout had Cooper walking out of the abandoned cave seeing an American soldier. The sun is shining, birds are singing and Cooper says, This is the Year One of the Atomic Age and God help us if we think we can keep this secret from the world, and keep it for ourselves. According to the director, the entire fourth reel was cut and probably doesnt exist any longer. He assumes that Warners cut his ending because it was too soon after the bombs had been dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki."

This film employed a great deal of split screen and optical tricks, such as rear screen projection, so that having the big cat in close proximity to the actors (especially
Cary Grant
who was more worried about acting with the cat than
Katharine Hepburn
) could be kept to a minimum. (Hepburn is sometimes shown petting and handling Baby. The leopards trainer praised Hepburn, stating that Kate was fearless and could become an animal trainer if she so desired.) Most of the split screens had a lot of movement in them, which meant the dividing line had to be moved around as well. Even the scenes of Susan dragging the mean Leopard on a leash are split screened. You can see that the rope does not line up. A puppet Leopard was also used in some shots. Its most clearly seen in the shot after Susan gets the Leopard dragged into the jail. The reaction shot immediately afterwards, shows David and Mrs. Random with "Baby" the Leopard on the table. The Leopard is a puppet.

Final theatrically released Hollywood movie for director
Richard T. Heffron
