Twelve paintings done for the film by John Decker were sent to the Museum of Modern Art in New York City for exhibition in March of 1946.
According to Ben Mankiewicz on TCM, when first released, local censor boards in New York, Milwaukee, and Atlanta banned this film entirely for being "licentious, profane, obscure, and contrary to the good order of the community".
Director Fritz Lang and three of the stars (Edward G. Robinson, Joan Bennett, and Dan Duryea) also made the similarly themed The Woman in the Window (1944).
One of Fritz Lang's personal favorites of his own films.
Edward G. Robinson's character talks lovingly about art and says he wishes he owned a Cezanne. In real life, Robinson was a great collector of fine art and was considered an expert.
"Adele Cross: Next thing you'll be painting women without clothes. Christopher Cross: I never saw a woman without any clothes. Adele Cross: I should hope not!"
"Kitty March: Well, I was going to do this myself, but, uh... [hands him toenail polish] Kitty March: Paint me, Chris!... They'll be masterpieces."
