    • Trivia
      Based on a magazine story by Roy Huggins, this movie provided the round-about genesis of the TV series 77 Sunset Strip (1958) (also created by Huggins). In this movie, Franchot Tone plays LA detective Stuart Bailey, which is the same name of the detective played ten years later by Efrem Zimbalist Jr. in the 1958 movie Le témoin dangereux (1958), which, in turn, was spun off into the "Strip" TV series that same year. This movie was produced by Columbia Pictures, while subsequent movie and TV series were made by Warner Bros.
    • Goofs
      Bailey's client is referred to as Mr. Johnson. In the note he shows Bailey, his name is Johnston.
    • Quotes

      Stuart Bailey: You ever have the feeling you've been watched or followed?

      Hazel Bixby: Not nearly enough.

    A Plethora of Hotties From Your Grandmother's Era
    I could not figure out who was who in this impossibly complex story. Until the very end I thought the various babes were all the same person. I have no idea who did what to whom, who was married to whom, who died, who was good, who was bad, nothing, a total mystery. Still it was pretty enjoyable.
