Pretty much same story, except he is a boxer this time..
The working titles of this film were "Heaven Can Wait" and "Mr. Jordan Comes to Town".

Brendan Gleeson is an accomplished violin player and did all of his own playing, and Nicole Kidman did all of her own piano playing in this movie.
As of 2003, this was the most expensive movie Miramax Films financed on its own, with a budget of about $79 million. This movie has a shooting ratio of 60:1, which means that for every one minute that appears on-screen, there were sixty minutes of footage.

Joseph E. Levine tried to duplicate the success he had with Hercules (1958) (U.S. title: "Hercules") in the U.S. by using the same techniques. He spent $1 million (an extraordinary sum in 1959) on the promotional campaign that included extensive use of TV spots. This was backed up with the saturation booking of 643 prints. This film was well remembered by horror and thriller fans from this period. The massive advertising campaign generated huge ticket sales and a high number of holdover dates. But, according to Joseph E. Levine, the film was a failure in the U.S. He claimed, "We dropped dead in every one! You'd think somewhere, a small town maybe, someplace, it would have done business. But no. That's a record they'll never come close to."

The film was based on the 1957 novel Ice Cold in Alex and its serialisation (as Escape in the Desert) in the magazine Saturday Evening Post. The New York Times described the book as "an excellent escape story played out in the best Hitchcock manner."
The producers had intended to shoot the location work for Ice Cold in Alex in Egypt, but they had to switch to Libya because of the Suez conflict.
