Trivia
This was Sidney Toler's final film. Stricken with cancer during his last few films, he was so physically weak during shooting that he could hardly walk or say his lines coherently. See more »Goofs
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Impresario Cole-King (Howard Negley) accuses his press agent, Rick Daniels (Larry Blake), of being "callused" when Rick suggests dumping the body of the first murder victim at the beach. The word obviously meant is "callous". See more »Quotes
Adelaide Brandt: Oh, it does not matter. We have lived through so much; we will overcome this. I live with you in jail, in hovels. I even live with you in pork pies.Doc Brandt: [laughs] It's pig sties, honey.
