    • Trivia
      The motion picture studio seen in the film is in fact the old RKO studio lot, now part of Paramount Pictures studio lot. Despite the film having been made more than seventy years ago, a lot of the buildings on the lot are virtually unchanged.
    • Goofs
      During the chase towards Sunset Studio Billie is driving her cab with Lawrence sitting in the back. When they get out at the studio gates Lawrence gets out from behind the wheel and Billie from the back. Presumably there was a scene where they switched places that ended up on the cutting room floor.
    • Quotes

      Louie Buchanan: [with menace] You see too much - you think too much - and you breathe too much...

      Tom Lawrence: [helpfully] Yeah, and bet too much on the wrong horses.

    My viewing was interrupted by a Kamikaze attack, March 1945

    I was watching this movie on the hangar deck of the USS Yorktown in Ulithi lagoon in the Western Caroline islands in 1945. I remember a scene at a swimming pool. Then a Kamikaze struck the Randolf, an aircraft carrier anchored next to us. The movie was stopped and we went to battle stations. I have tried to locate a copy of this movie so that I could see the ending with no luck.
