TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Remake of a 1928 silent movie. Both movies were produced by Howard Hughes.

Ray Collins and William Talman costarred in the TV series "Perry Mason (1957)," as police lieutenant Arthur Tragg and prosecutor Hamilton Burger, respectively.

The film's director John Cromwell was in the Broadway play "The Racket" which opened on November 27, 1927 at the Ambassador Theatre, 219 W. 49th St. and ran for 119 performances until March, 1928. He starred as McQuigg, the role played in the film by Robert Mitchum.

A poster for this film can be scene very briefly in the background of a scene in "Foul Play (1978)."

One of the images in the opening credits - of a car driving past a waterfront warehouse, with skyscrapers in the background - is the same shot from the opening credits of The Asphalt Jungle (1950). The shot is location footage of Cincinnati, OH, which is where The Asphalt Jungle (1950) took place.
