Cast

Production

Philip Yordan says he gave the story to Dennis Cooper to write up, but that Yordan then had to rewrite it.

Neil Hamilton and Kim Hunter were borrowed from Selznick International.
Critical response

When the film was released, Variety's review was positive, writing, "Only thing wrong with this film is its misleading title. Tag, When Strangers Marry, suggests another of the problem plays of newlyweds when in reality pic is a taught (sic) psychological thriller about a murderer and a manhunt full of suspense and excitement."

According to Simon Callow's book Orson Welles: Hello Americans, Orson Welles said of this movie, "It isn't as slick as Double Indemnity or as glossy as Laura, but it's better acted and better directed ... than either."
