Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFilming was very difficult for the 71-year-old Burt Lancaster, as he had undergone a quadruple heart bypass operation two years earlier. There was some question as to whether he would even get insurance for this film.
- GoofsThe exterior shots of Mickey's show the doors opening outward while the interior shots show them opening inward. The hinges are standard 'saloon bar' hinges seen in every cowboy movie that features a saloon, and work both ways.
- Quotes
[Harry Doyle has been summoned by his parole officer]
Richie Evans: I got a call from the rest home today. She said that you were being a disruptive influence during lunch. That you refused to eat your spinach soufflé, and that you caused a riot. And that last night you made love to a woman.
Harry Doyle: Do you make love to women, Richie?
Richie Evans: Well, yes. Of course I do.
Harry Doyle: Then how come when you do it, you're a stud and when I do it I'm a disruptive influence to society.
Richie Evans: Because I'm only 28 and you're 72.
