The scene when Regal first goes inside a building to visit his mother was filmed on Second Street in Los Angeles, California in what is called Little Tokyo.
The billboard where McFarland is beaten by Regal's hoods advertised highway safety and contained a cross inside a circle. That is the "Green Cross for Safety" logo of the National Safety Council, a non-profit group that advocates for highway, workplace, and community safety in the United States. Ironically, the roadside billboard reads "Drive Carefully--The life you save may be your own."
When Phil and Rosalie are talking on the roof of their building, there is a billboard for Frankel. Max Frankel is the Art Director for for the film.
Nicky's $95.00 per week salary on this 1955 film translates to about $1,050 per week in 2022 dollars.
This was actor Mickey Knox's first job as a dialog director. He also can be seen briefly on screen as an extra.
"[first lines] Joe McFarland: [voice over as the scene shifts from the front of the newspaper office to him typing at his office desk] This story is true. I oughta know. I not only covered it for my newspaper, I became a part of it. You read about Phil Regal in the papers - "Enforcer for the Underworld" they called him, but the real inside story was never told before. No one could possibly tell it until now... and stay alive. It started one dismal night under a bridge in a lonely stretch of Brooklyn... [the scene shifts to a fire under the Brooklyn Bridge]"
"[last lines] Joe McFarland: [as he and a tearful Rosalie walk away from the edge of the roof after having seen Phil's dead body in the alley below] Cry, Rosalie. Go ahead and cry."
