Trivia

After Joy Harmon arrived on-location, she remained for two days in her hotel room and wasn't seen by the rest of the cast until shooting commenced. Despite Stuart Rosenberg 's intentions, the scene was ultimately filmed separately. He instructed an unaware Harmon of the different movements and expressions he wanted. Originally planned to be shot in half a day, her scene took three. To film the other angle of the scene, featuring the chain gang, Rosenberg substituted a teenage cheerleader, who wore an overcoat.
