Can anybody please answer this question:

Did Martin Milner, as Steve Dallas, play his own guitar parts in SSOS? I've scanned the internet and have not found an answer. My searchings turned up the strange coincidence of a British musician with the same name who plays guitar and mandolin and writes and sings his own, largely folkie, material. But I want to know about the more well-known Martin Milner: was he playing or was he dubbed in this film? Maccb (talk) 00:24, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On this page Clifford Odets is referred to as a blacklisted screenwriter, yet all other Wikipedia pages mentioning him say he avoided this fate. Which is correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.194.4.85 (talk) 02:31, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe that Lancaster's character says 'make time with' as quoted in the article; con somebody confirm or refute this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.57.0.26 (talk) 01:29, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In one section it was Ernst Lehman was slated to direct but the studio didn't want a first-timer, so he recommended Mackendrick. In another it says Lehman was intimidated by Burt Lancaster's presence and refused to direct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:9:A80:7CE:AD56:B505:B6EC:BAE7 (talk) 06:39, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
