Orson Welles was inspired by this movie to make L'altra faccia del vento (2018), one of his many unfinished opuses. It tells of an old director trying to complete an epic movie and being taunted by his young male lead who keeps calling him "Fatso". The director encourages his star to buy a sports car. In what exists of the movie, the director was played by lean, lanky John Huston. "Fatso", however, was James Dean's nickname for George Stevens during the making of this movie.
