Trivia: There are 5 entries in the trivia list - like these:
- Although there was some impressive second unit work shot in Kenya, the principal actors shot their African scenes in Hollywood.
- Gregory Peck resisted taking the role because an earlier Ernest Hemingway adaptation he had appeared in, The Macomber Affair (1947) had been a box-office flop.
- In the scene where Gregory Peck lifts up Ava Gardner, he threw out his knee and production had to close down while he recovered. Unfortunately, all the scenes of his lying down in his sickbed had been shot already.
