Trivia:
When Humphrey Bogart was told that director Nicholas Ray wanted to film the entire 'sentencing statement for the defense' sequence in a single take, Bogart was concerned because he had never delivered such a long speech without cuts and feared he couldn't do it. Ray calmed Bogart down, suggested several rehearsals, and much to Bogart's surprise, Ray rolled during the rehearsals filming most of what has become the famous and well played sentencing sequence. moreGoofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When visiting Nicky's mom, Mrs. Romano calls Mr. Morton "Signor Bogarto". moreQuotes:
Dist. Atty. Kerman: Was there a floor show that night at the bar?Butch: There was a dame - a lady.
Dist. Atty. Kerman: Was the lady a blonde or brunette?
Butch: You think I was looking at her hair?

Bogey is superb as defense attorney with too soft a heart under his tough guy exterior, and Derek is chillingly believable as the cool, young delinquent who thinks nothing of playing his friends for marks. Macready, as the relentless D.A, pulls no punches, and allows for no softness in an indelible performance.
A pioneering movie blazes a trail later imitated but never bested.
