The film is based on Bernard Malamud's novel The Fixer, which in turn was inspired by the 1913 trial of Menahem Mendel Beilis, a Russian Jew who was falsely accused of having ritually murdered a Ukrainian boy named Andrei Yushchinsky, an example of the Blood Libel.[2][3]
Alan Bates was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role.
