Do you know they say making this movie is what gave him cancer? It was filmed on location where the government had been dropping nuclear bombs. Howard Hughes got the location through the government for the movie for I think a dollar or some silly thing. The majority of the people that worked on the film died of cancer. They say all that gorgeous red dust that made the scenary so pretty was radioactive.
