      In the last scene, it can be seen how bad the Los Angeles smog was at that time. It sometimes was difficult to keep ones eyes open due to the intense stinging of the smog.
    • Goofs
      At 45 minutes into the movie, Connie Anderson enters the downtown L.A. subway station. She first walks into a trolley car, and the car is marked number "5000" inside the car. She then leaves that car, but now the same car is marked "5009" on the outside. Then she walks to her right and boards a different car, marked "5000" on the outside.
    • Quotes

      Police Lieutenant Jake Kuppol: We're all finished with you, Mr. Werker.

      Mr. Werker: I thought I'd wait around for the reporters and photographers. They may want to take my picture.

      Police Lieutenant Jake Kuppol: The Chronicle's down the street two blocks.

      Mr. Werker: That was an awful shock you know, finding that body. I am not a well man. I fell off a roof once and all my insides got shoved up two inches. My stomach's up against my liver. My liver's up against my gall bladder. And my gall bladder's between my stomach and my lungs. Besides which I gotta bad heart. You'd think they'd want to take my picture. After all, a sick man like me finding that girl, huh?

    F.B.I. melodrama stars Broderick Crawford as agent...
    Based on a novel by The Gordons called "Case File: F.B.I.", this is a semi-documentary style crime drama from Columbia starring BRODERICK CRAWFORD as a diligent F.B.I. agent John Ripley assigned to crack a few unsolved cases when a fellow agent on the job is killed in the line of duty.

    RUTH ROMAN, MARISA PAVAN and MARTHA HYER are the three women connected to the cases, all of whom give good performances but Pavan is particularly touching as a blind woman.

    The documentary style is nicely handled and there's a twist at the end that came as a real surprise to me.

    Not great, but an interesting example of satisfactory film noir.
