    • Trivia
      The opening titles are not printed or written out on screen, but are instead spoken to the audience by Humphrey Bogart impersonator and impressionist Guy Marks. This performance has often been erroneously attributed to Jerry Lacy, who had played Bogart in Herbert Ross' and Woody Allen's Play It Again, Sam (1972).
    • Goofs
      The cruise liner at the end of the film looks far too modern for 1947. It is the MS Starward, built in 1968, and still in service today as the MV Orient Queen.
    • Quotes

      Mianne Prendergast: [after spotting Natalie Wood wandering around her estate in a slinky silk robe and Joan Crawford high heel] If you wander inside, she'll probably rape you!

      Leslie C. Tucker: There's no rush...

    • Crazy credits
      The opening credits are spoken by a Humphrey Bogart impersonator.

    6/10
    Witty script hurt by lack of visual clarity
    A semi-spoofish deconstruction of 1940s film noir tropes, "Peeper" has plenty of witty dialogues - and monologues - delivered by Michael Caine in his inimitable style ("President Truman said there is now a boom in U. S. economy, but although I leave my window open every night I still can't hear it"), but it is underlit to an excessive degree, and filled with too many overacted "thugs" who are impossible to tell apart (we never really learn why they are after Caine's character, either). This one might have worked better as a radio program. **1/2 out of 4.
