When Reporter Mc Neal (Jimmy Stewart) is doing his extensive footwork in searching for Wanda Skutnik in the Back of the Yards neighborhood, he is told to go over to an address on Honore Street (a real Chicago street name). However the guy relating this info pronounces it as (phonetically) as "Huh-nor." The street name is derived from a French surname and is correctly by the Locals as "Ahn-oree." See more »Quotes
P.J. McNeal: Aw, look, Frank, it's a big thing when a sovereign state admits an error. But remember this: there aren't many governments in the world that would do it.See more »
