The post-production phase of the project was complicated. In Charlton Heston's journals, he wrote that after viewing the rough cut of the film in February 1957, the studio requested another day of shooting to clarify the plot. Heston, reluctant to appear in any sequences not shot by Orson Welles, caused the production to be held up for a day, but then agreed to reimburse the studio $8000 for the delay. Harry Keller was then brought in to direct the additional sequences. Welles stated that two scenes between Vargas and Susan in the hotel were added, as well as a scene between Vargas and the district attorney in the hotel. Welles also noted that a scene in which Menzies tells Susan how Quinlan saved his life years earlier by taking a bullet for him would have explained Quinlan's limp and Quinlan saying "That's the second bullet I stopped for you, partner."
