On location in Texas, he shot off a string of firecrackers in a hotel lobby, serenaded Jean Peters from a treetop at three in the morning, horrified cast and crew by playing dead for several minutes following the hail of gunfire that ends Zapatas life, and told visiting reporters that he once ate grasshoppers and gazelle eyes.

With the end of World War II, Warners pushed back the release of The Big Sleep in favor of its completed war-themed films, among these films was Confidential Agent, which also starred Lauren Bacall. After her performance in that film was panned by the critics, agent Charles K. Feldman convinced Jack L. Warner that another failure would ruin Bacalls career. In a letter dated November 16, 1945, Feldman wrote Warner that "...if Bacall receives the same type of general reviews and criticisms on The Big Sleep, which she definitely will receive unless changes are made, you might lose one of your most important assets. Though the additional scenes will only cost in the neighborhood of probably $25,000 or $50,000, in my opinion this should be done even if the cost should run to $250,000." Feldman advised Warner to "give the girl at least three or four additional scenes with Bogart of the insolent and provocative nature that she had in To Have and Have Not."

c.		Amy McClung was 21 years old when she directed this film. Her mother appears in the Lesbians Against Hate scene as the member suffering from lupus, and throughout the film as a variety of extras. In addition, her older brother Ryan plays Bryan Michael and her younger brother Joe plays Danny.

Eugene Walter was a prolific Hollywood screenwriter of the 1920s and 1930s. 1851 Ivar Street was the address of the Alto Nido Apartments, where Walter lived, sometimes worked, and, ultimately died in 1941.

d.		Anthony Quinn had played Stanley Kowalski in the road-tour of Tennessee Williams play "A Streetcar Named Desire", and some critics thought he was better than Marlon Brando, who had originated the part.

On set, the competitive Quinn and Brando, who both liked and respected each other, bonded like the brothers they played.

But there was also an emaciated sailor, stuffed and mounted next to a tree where he was impaled by Zaroffs arrow, and another full-body figure stuffed, with the bodies of two of the hunting dogs mounted in a death grip. Preview audiences cringed and shuddered at the head in the bottle and the mounted heads, but when they saw the mounted figures and heard Zaroffs dialog describing in detail how each man had died, they began heading for the exit - so these shots disappeared.
d.		Anson Mount was originally reluctant to play Ben, but was encouraged by Robert De Niro, with whom he was working at the time on City by the Sea, who turned out to be a huge Spears fan. They went over scenes on break from "Sea", with Mount reading his role and De Niro reading Britneys.
