| Trivia | Based on a magazine story by Roy Huggins, this movie provided the round-about genesis of the TV series 77 Sunset Strip (1958) (also created by Huggins). In this movie, Franchot Tone plays LA detective Stuart Bailey, which is the same name of the detective played ten years later by Efrem Zimbalist Jr. in the 1958 movie Girl on the Run (1958), which, in turn, was spun off into the "Strip" TV series that same year. This movie was produced by Columbia Pictures, while subsequent movie and TV series were made by Warner Bros. See more » |
