In real life, Danny Cohen owned the club in which Joe E. Lewis first worked. After Lewis defected for more money, Cohen gave mobster Jack "Machine Gun" McGurn (real name: Vincenzo Antonio Gebhardi), a lieutenant in Al Capone's mob, a 25% share in the club in return for his persuading Lewis to stay. McGurn's method of persuasion was the beating which Lewis received.
The film's name was changed to "All the Way" when re-released. This, after the success and popularity of the Oscar-winning song from the movie.
For some unknown reason, Jack "Machine Gun" McGurn is portrayed in this film as "Tim Coogan."
The filming of the movie was done mostly later in the day, Sinatra preferring to work at that time, and the schedule was tailored around this.
