The fifth of sixteen movies for the suave detective nicknamed "The Falcon" and the first starring Tom Conway on his own in the role.
The Falcon drives a 1942 Buick Special convertible coupe. Less than 2,500 were made before the start of WWII when civilian automobile production was suspended. It appears to be the same car used in The Falcon's Brother (1942).
The $250,000 in face-value Series G bonds stolen would be the equivalent of over $4.26M in 2022. (Not accounting for the interest or the collector value of these rare bonds themselves.)
The artwork on Tom Lawrence's wall is by the famous pinup artist Alberto Vargas. The style is similar, but this was actually the work of George Petty, not Vargas. (Conway even refers to it as a "Petty Girl."

"Tom Lawrence: [after Marcia declines to alibi for him] Well, Inspector, you've caught me. Inspector Timothy Donovan: Then you're ready to confess? Tom Lawrence: Yes, it wasn't Marcia Brooks. It was a Miss... [Changing his mind] Tom Lawrence: I'd rather not give her name. It would be violating a confidence. Inspector Timothy Donovan: Yeah? She doesn't have a name because she doesn't exist. Marcia Brooks: [Interrupting] Oh, but she does, Inspector. I met her in his... office. I didn't get her name, but she's an exotic little tomato... if you like the acid type."
