“A four-seater plane transporting Mitchum to the movie’s Bridgeport location lost its brakes and crashed through a fence into an outhouse. The actor climbed out of the wreck and hitchhiked to set. The panicked production team had just heard news of the crash and were scrambling for details when a scuffed Mitchum sauntered up and asked if anybody had any weed.” – Crooked Marquee, 11/07/2025
