It is unrestored in very fine condition without any tears, pinholes, creases, stains, writing, or other flaws. Producer Sam Spiegel had acquired the property this film was based on in the 1950's and originally wanted Marlon Brando to play the role of Jason "Jake" Rogers and Marilyn Monroe to play his lover, Anna Reeves. By the time production began in 1965, however, Brando was too old to play the role of the son and took the part of Sheriff Calder instead. Brando was paid $750,000 and his production company, Pennebaker, was paid a fee of $130,000 (Brando's sister Jocelyn also was cast in the small role of Mrs. Briggs). Brando did not like the part of Sheriff Calder and complained that all he did in the picture was wander around. He began referring to himself as "The Old Lamplighter."
