Trivia

Dustin Hoffman turned down the role of Paul Sheldon, due to his dislike of violent films.

Quotes

Sheriff John T. 'Buster' McCain: There is a judge higher than that of man, I will be judged by Him.

Goofs

Although Buster's wife would have missed him after he didn't come back from Annie's house, he never told her where he was going, so it's not unreasonable that for one night, no one went there to look for him.
