At one point, four month-old Jeff Bridges, playing the baby Jane Greer is holding in the train station, was supposed to cry. To get him to cry, Jeff's mother, Dorothy Dean Bridges, suggested they pinch him.
Feature film debut of Jeff Bridges. His older brother, Beau Bridges, and their mother, Dorothy Dean Bridges, also appear in the film. Jeff would co-star once more with Jane Greer 31 years later in Due vite in gioco (1984).
When this film was made, Howard Hughes owned both RKO, which produced it, and TWA, whose logo is featured prominently on the airplane in the airport sequence.
According to studio records, this film flopped at the box office, resulting in a loss for RKO of $315,000 ($3.1M in 2017).
It is well known now that the infant child that Jane Greer is holding in the railroad station scene is a 4-month-old Jeff Bridges. What you may not know is that when Greer and Bridges appeared together in Due vite in gioco (1984), the1984 remake of Le catene della colpa (1947) in which Greer also starred, neither remembered that they had shared the screen in that earlier scene. It was not until the filming of Against All Odds that Greer and Bridges were informed by the Bridges' family members that he was that 4-month-old child that she held in the railroad station scene in The Company She Keeps.
