Did you know?!Facts and trivia about The Spy in the Green Hat (1967)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- In one scene Arturo “Fingers” Stiletto (Eduardo Ciannelli) smashes a grapefruit half into the face of his wife, played by Joan Blondell, who then breaks the fourth wall and stares into the camera in exasperation at the homage to an iconic scene between James Cagney and Mae Clark from 1931's The Public Enemy, in which Blondell also starred.
- Some short scenes that were more violent, sexy and disturbing than generally shown on American network television at the time were inserted: Pia Monteri (Román)'s nude back, from the waist up, is briefly shown in the film, but edited out in the TV broadcast.
