Trivia

Appearing in this film are no fewer than twenty performers who appeared in at least one of the Sherlock Holmes movies with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, the latter playing Ramsbottom.

Robert Donat, Laurence Olivier and Richard Greene were also considered for the role of Clive Briggs.

"Lux Radio Theater" broadcast a 60 minute radio adaptation of the movie on September 14, 1942 with Tyrone Power reprising his film role.

Popular Dialogues

"Iris Cathaway: I'm not against equality. I'm perfectly prepared to be equal with anybody providing they don't start being equal with me."

"Clive Briggs: A man must have integrity. He's not entitled to free thought unless he's willing to pay the price of admitting it. Dare not admit what I believe, then I have no right to believe it"
