After his definitive performance in Scarface (1932), Paul Muni vowed never to play a gangster again. This tactic worked well for a couple of years, with an Academy Award for The Story of Louis Pasteur (1936) and an Oscar nomination for The Life of Emile Zola (1937), but eventually the good parts started to dwindle. By 1946, Muni was keen to play a major role again, so took the part of a gangster in this film.
The film's original title was "Me and Satan", but producer Charles R. Rogers decided to change it on the conclusion that no one would want to go to see a film about the Devil.
Claude Rains played a similar role in Here Comes Mr. Jordan (1941). In that movie, he played "Mr. Jordan", who helped the central character, "Joe Pendleton", find a new body after he died.
Director Archie Mayo clashed repeatedly with star Paul Muni during production. Muni didn't make another film for eight years.
"The Hedda Hopper Show - This Is Hollywood" broadcast a 30-minute radio adaptation of the movie on October 12, 1946 with Paul Muni and Anne Baxter reprising their film roles.
"Eddie Kagle: How long you been down here? Nick: Since time immemorial. Eddie Kagle: The way you talk, you must've had a good education. Nick: A most liberal one. Eddie Kagle: I only went through the third grade. Nick: I went through the whole gamut of learning. I know everything. Eddie Kagle: Stuck on yourself, huh? What's your name? Nick: Well, I have a number of aliases. I have a long record under the name of Mephistopheles. Eddie Kagle: Greek, huh? Nick: Well, there are some who claim I'm more of one nation than another, but that's not true, Eddie. I'm of all nations, I play no favorites. Eddie Kagle: You look like a con man. Look, Mephistopheles... Nick: Call me Nick. Eddie Kagle: You married? Nick: Millions of women have adored me. Eddie Kagle: Quite a guy with the ladies, huh? Nick: I'm a fascinating fellow. Eddie Kagle: Look, mug, playing around with dames is dynamite. Nick: But most delightful dynamite, Eddie! Live fully while you may, and reckon not the cost. Deny yourself nothing - flame and blaze like a torch, and toss the fire about you! Omar Khayam said it: 'I'll make the most of what we yet may spend, before we too into the dust descend!'"
"Barbara Foster: All I know is wherever you're going, I want to go too. Eddie Kagle: You don't belong where I'm going honey."
