Brando initially refused to go on a tour to meet the press and promote the film. The studio threatened him, as he was contractually required to promote the film, so Brando made an appearance at one press conference. He said to the press, "You will be unable to proceed in life unless you see Morituri." The studio released him from having to do any more press appearances after this sarcastic statement.
The Morse code heard at the end of the movie says "CQ CQ CQ DE SS INGO (then code for a new line: BT) CARGO SHIP OUT OF . . . " (code fades as music rises). The repeated CQ's are an invitation to whoever may be listening to reply. [DE is code shorthand meaning "from"]
This movie bombed at the box-office upon initial release. It was a financial disaster for Twentieth Century-Fox, coming on the heels of Cleopatra (1963), another high-profile drain on the studio. The film brought in only $4,045,000, less than half of it's break-even amount of $10.5M according to studio records. It is believed that the film's title was not understood by the public. As such, when re-released, the film was re-named "Saboteur: Code Name Morituri."
Marlon Brando offered directing duties to Stanley Kubrick who was working on "more interesting ideas (of his own)," according to Kubrick's letter collection.
Initially, Trevor Howard was reluctant to work alongside Marlon Brando again, following their strained relationship while filming "Mutiny on the Bounty" (1962). However, since Howard only had a one scene appearance, he finally agreed.
"Colonel Statter: [blackmailing Crain] In your case, I'm not troubled by any moral nausea."
"Robert Crain: Statter, you're a cold bastard. Colonel Statter: I was born on a chilly island."
