This was the movie that bank robber John Dillinger had just seen before he was gunned down in front of Chicago's Biograph Theater on July 22, 1934. He had been set up by Anna Sage, the madam of a brothel, who knew Dillinger's girlfriend, Polly Hamilton. Sage was facing deportation and thought the tip might get her off. She told FBI agent Melvin Purvis that she would be wearing orange which appeared red, leading her to be dubbed "The Woman in Red". Dillinger was shot three times when he tried to escape, and Sage wound up being sent back to Romania.

In the cheering New York City crowds on Jim Wade's election night, supposedly in November 1925, theatre marquees are promoting 1933 films, including MGM's Päivälliset klo 8 (1933) and Bombshell (1933) with Michael Strogoff (1910).
