With so many suspects in the plot, and none of them expendable, director Sidney Lumet decided that the audience's odds of keeping the characters straight would improve if he cast a familiar face in each role. Lumet thought the best way to acquire an all-star cast was to sign the biggest star first. In 1974, that was Sean Connery, who Lumet had previously directed in La collina del disonore (1965), Rapina record a New York (1971), and Riflessi in uno specchio scuro (1973). Once Connery was attached, the remainder of the cast was set in a matter of weeks.
