TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

During production, stars Alan Ladd and Veronica Lake were interviewed on set during a live broadcast from Paramount's experimental television station W6XYZ. There were less than three hundred television receivers in Los Angeles at the time.

The movie's poster was as #17 of "The 25 Best Movie Posters Ever" by Premiere.

Alan Ladd and Veronica Lake both died at the age of 50, and both due to alcohol abuse.

The headquarters of the fictional Nitro Chemical Company was the now demolished Richfield Tower, located at 555 S. Flower Street in Downtown Los Angeles. The beautiful Art Deco, black and gold terracotta clad building, housed the Richfield Oil Company before it merged with the Atlantic Refining Company in 1966, becoming the Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO). The building was considered too small after the merger and the decision to demolish the beloved building was made, despite the protests of Angelenos. It was demolished in 1969, making room for the City National Plaza.

Loosely based on "This Gun For Hire" by Graham Greene.
