TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

In order to show cinematographer George Barnes how he wanted the film to look, Abraham Polonsky gave him a book of Edward Hopper's Third Avenue paintings.

The lighthouse shown at the end is The Little Red Lighthouse, located under the George Washington Bridge, next to the Hudson River.

This film was selected to the National Film Registry, Library of Congress, in 1994.

The numbers shown in the newspaper do correctly add up as "Two & Two" figures: 784,342.

Joe correctly quotes the actual New York State legal code to Leo regarding the numbers or "policy" rackets, when they argue in Leo's office.

Popular Dialogues

"[after Joe bails his brother, Doris and the others out of jail] Doris Lowry: You know I've got my whole life to think about now and you won't be of any help. Joe Morse: How do you know? You know everything I touch turns to gold. It's raining out and I promised my brother to take you home. Doris Lowry: Well, that's a lie. Joe Morse: Well, it's not true; but I would have had he asked. You know you can't tell about your life 'til you're all through living it. Come on, I'll give you a lift. You're tired, I'm tireder. What can happen to either one of us? You tell me the story of your life and maybe I can suggest a happy ending."

"Edna Tucker: A man could spend the rest of his life trying to remember what he shouldn't have said."
