In a 2000 interview in "Premiere" magazine, Saint recalled making the film, which has been highly influential, saying, "Kazan put me in a room with Marlon Brando. He said 'Brando is the boyfriend of your sister. You're not used to being with a young man. Don't let him in the door under any circumstances.' I don't know what he told Marlon; you'll have to ask him—good luck! [Brando came in and started teasing me. He put me off balance. And I remained off balance for the whole shoot.", she explained the same anecdote in a 2010 interview.
