After all theses many years, the film stands out in my memory mainly for one thing:
It was the first time I ever heard a swear word -- "bastard" -- on screen. (One of the characters is referred to as a "sneaky little bastard").
In those innocent times we were so taken aback that we thought we had heard wrong.
The next notch up the scale, incidentally, came about six years later when I saw "Woodstock" and actually heard the F word....
I also remember High Bright Sun for George Chakiris -- such a charismatic young actor -- and so sad that he faded out soon after
