Modern sources note that director Nicholas Ray was working on a rough cut of the film when he tore some ligaments and had to undergo an operation. In Ray's absence, producer Herbert Swope added the clichéd swirling mist shots that signal the start of the flashbacks in the film. Studio head Buddy Adler cut several scenes from the revivalist meeting sequence, according to another modern source. In Ray's original version, Jesse railed against the Union soldiers at the meeting. Modern sources also add that Arthur Kramer worked with Walter Newman to tighten the screenplay.
