O diretor Martin Ritt disse que o público entrava para ver o filme, esperando ser uma comédia de Woody, mas saiam abalados.
O próprio diretor, Zero Mostel, Herschel Bernardi e até o roteirista Walter Bernstein estavam nessa famosa Lista Negra, comandada pelo congressista Joseph McCarthy, que deu origem ao termo Macartismo.
No Brasil, título do filme foi 'Testa de Ferro por Acaso'.
Trilha sonora de Dave Grusin.

In the early 1950s Howard Prince, who works in a restaurant, helps out a black-listed writer friend by selling a TV station a script under his own name. The money is useful in paying off gambling debts, so he takes on three more such clients. Howard is politically pretty innocent, but involvement with Florence - who quits TV in disgust over things - and friendship with the show's ex-star - now himself blacklisted - make him start to think about what is really going on.
Director Martin Ritt once said of this film, "Audiences go in expecting a Woody Allen comedy and come out shattered."
Several people involved in this film were themselves on the McCarthy-era blacklists that it is about: director Martin Ritt; writer Walter Bernstein; and actors Zero Mostel, Herschel Bernardi, Lloyd Gough, and Joshua Shelley.
Music by Dave Grusin.
