What's left behind the scenes

  • The film is based on the novel of the same name by Carson McCullers, which was published in 1941.
  • The role of Weldon was turned down by actors Richard Burton and Lee Marvin before Marlon Brando agreed to play it for $750,000 and ten percent of the profits. Elizabeth Taylor also wanted him for the role, rejecting the initially planned candidate, Patrick O'Neal.
  • This is the debut film of actor Robert Forster.
  • The director wanted Carson McCullers herself to write the screenplay, but at the time the author was seriously ill.
  • Photographs of the character Marlon Brando were later used in the dossier of his character from Francis Ford Coppola's film "Apocalypse Now" (1979).
  • The scene in which Major Penderton talks to his reflection in the mirror was recreated in Martin Scorsese's film "Taxi Driver" (1976), where Robert De Niro's character, standing in front of a mirror, delivers the famous line: "You talkin' to me?"
  • The film's poster can be seen in Dick and Floyd's apartment in Tony Scott's film "True Romance" (1993).
  • The character Wing Rams in Simon West's film "Con Air" (1997) wrote an autobiography titled "Reflections in a Golden Eye."
  • The original author, Carson McCullers, was bisexual, which influenced her work, particularly the image of the character of Major Weldon Penderton in the novel "Reflections in a Golden Eye."
  • Harvey Keitel played his second role in his career as one of the soldiers in this film, but his name is not listed in the credits.
  • The character of Wing Rems in director Simon West's film "Air Prison" (1997) wrote an autobiography titled "Glimmers in a Golden Eye".
  • The scene where Major Pendleton talks to his reflection in the mirror is replicated in Martin Scorsese's film "Taxi Driver" (1976), where Robert De Niro's character, standing in front of a mirror, utters the famous line: "You talkin' to me?"
  • The character of Wing Rems in director Simon West's film "Air Prison" (1997) wrote an autobiography titled "Glimmers in a Golden Eye".
