Trivia / Cast notes

    * This was the first major motion picture for Christopher Walken, as well as the last on-screen film appearance by Margaret Hamilton.[1]
    * Sean Connery, Martin Balsam, and director Sidney Lumet were to work together again on Murder on the Orient Express. Connery had previously worked with the director on The Hill, and they would reunite again many years later for Family Business. Balsam and Lumet had worked together previously on 12 Angry Men.
    * Sean Connery's performance as the likeable criminal Duke Anderson was instrumental in his breakout from being typecast as James Bond. It also restored him to the ranks of top male actors.
    * Two characters from the novel the film was based on were combined together for the film. "Ingrid Macht" and "Agnes Everleigh" became "Ingrid Everleigh".

 Production

The Anderson Tapes was filmed on location in New York City, on Fifth Avenue, at the Convent of the Sacred Heart, Riker's Island Prison, the Port Authority Bus Terminal, Luxor Health Club and on the Lower East Side. Interiors scenes were filmed at Hi Brown Studio  and ABC-Path� Studio, both in New York City. The production was on a tight budget, and filming was completed in the short period of six weeks, from mid-August to 16 October 1970. The film was the first for producer Robert M. Weitman as an independent producer.

Columbia Pictures was not happy with the planned ending of the film, in which Connery escaped to be pursued by police helicopters, fearing that it would hurt sales to television, which generally required that bad deeds not go unpunished.
