Histoire
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesSir Alfred Hitchcock's original cameo was cut by order of the censors. He and his secretary played deaf pedestrians. When Hitchcock's character made an apparently indecent proposal to her in sign language, she slapped his face. A more conventional cameo in front of a drugstore was substituted.
- GaffesAt the beginning, a soda-ash fire extinguisher is filled with gasoline. Soda-ash units are pressurized when they're turned upside down. This opens a stopper, releasing sulfuric acid into the water which is mixed with baking soda. This results in a large amount of carbon dioxide being generated, pressurizing the canister. Without this gas the gasoline would hardly come out.
- Citations
Barry Kane: You can't get away with this, Tobin! Even if I don't stop you, there will be others that will. A man like you can't last in a country like this.
Charles Tobin: Very pretty speech - youthful, passionate, idealistic. You see I've already sent for the police.
Barry Kane: You can't bluff me. You're hooked and you know it.
Charles Tobin: Must I remind you that *you* are the fugitive from justice and not I. I'm a promient citizen, widely respected. You are an obscure young workman, wanted for the committing of an extremely unpopular crime. Now which of us do you think the police will believe?
- Générique farfeluRather than finishing with "The End", the word "Finis" appears. This is perhaps an allusion to the fall of France, which is referred to in Pat's conversation with Fry inside the Statue of Liberty.

Lyrics by Bobby Worth
Sung by the men in the car
I think it's a little weak that every nice person- save for the girl, instinctively knows Bob Cummings is innocent the moment they meet him. If you ran into a guy who is accused of torching a defense plant and his best friend with it, who you immediately decide that he's not so bad? Also the horrendous nature of the accusation would make the `It Happened One Night' type scenes that draw the hero and heroine together rather unlikely. The wartime patriotic speech at the end can certainly be forgiven. What movies in 1942 didn't have a speech like that?
The big thing, of course is the ending. Sweet old Norman Lloyd in his younger days finds, as Ben Hecht said, that `he needs a new tailor.' It's a model for many similar scenes later. One wonders why there was no denouement. Lloyd tells Cummings that he will clear him and then dies. Is Cummings on his way to jail at the end? An earlier scene suggests that the police already on his side. Wouldn't it be better to make that unclear and then have a scene afterwards where we find out he's off the hook?
