What's left behind the scenes
- In 1948, a Parisian bank clerk named Verdu sued the film's producers.
- Originally, Orson Welles was supposed to direct the film, and Chaplin was to star in it, but the latter stated that he had never acted in films directed by anyone else and had no intention of starting. He then bought the script from Orson Welles, rewrote parts of it, and credited himself as the screenwriter, stating that Welles was only the originator of the idea. Welles responded, saying that despite the script largely remaining his, he had no objections, as it was, in any case, his worst script.
- Despite excellent critical reviews and even an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay, the film flopped at the American box office due to elements of "blasphemy" and political satire, as well as Chaplin's political beliefs, which were unfavorable to the US government at the time. In the year of its release, the cinemas that dared to show it were picketed by the American Legion and Catholic War Veterans, and pro-government newspapers launched a real campaign of harassment against the director.
- Luis Buñuel considered this film to be one of Chaplin's two best films (the other being *The Gold Rush*).
- In the scene where Detective Morrow drinks wine from a glass, it is clearly visible that a small amount of wine remains in the glass when he sets it down on the table. However, in the following scenes, the wine in the glass disappears and then reappears.
