Did You Know?
| Trivia | For the scene where Dan Quigley hauls Myra Gale across the apartment floor by her hair, and throws her out the door, James Cagney taught his co-star Mae Clarke an old stage trick. When Cagney grabbed hold of Clarke's hair (holding her by the top of her head), Clarke reached up and grabbed Cagney's wrist with both hands. This put her weight on Cagney's wrist, instead of on her hair. Clarke then held on to Cagney's wrist, screaming as he dragged her across the room. See more » |
| Goofs | After the robbery of the wealthy woman's home the paper says a maid was struck and seriously injured; and later in Cagney's office they're still talking about a maid who screams. Later when the guy who actually hit comes back scared; he's says the butler died. See more » |

Spade Maddock:
[discussing diamond-studded Mrs. Marley at the gang's speakeasy]
C'mere - take a gander at her. Dan Quigley: [eyeing her through a peephole] Did you say "gander?" I wonder how she'd go for a goose. See more » |
