| Shep helped John Cassavetes raise funding
for this movie by having John as one of his rare guests on his radio show
one Sunday night in February 1957. As a show of gratitude, Cassavetes
expressed his thanks in the opening credits of the movie.
Shep was so committed to the project that he loaned his
assistant Ellen Paulos to Cassavetes to help with the film.
Author Ray Carney has written many books on John Cassavetes
and has a website full of interesting facts about Shadows and Cassavetes
