Is a nearly scene-for-scene remake of the film I Wake Up Screaming (1941) with Victor Mature and Betty Grable.
The use of the quote, "The butler did it," was at that time a recognized joke. It played off the spoiling of the ending of a play or movie by a big mouth in the audience. It did not refer to the plot of the film being shown in that theater.
When Jill Lynn (Jeanne Crain) seeks out Steve Christopher (Elliott Reid) in the all-night movie house, a film is playing on the screen but we only hear the voices. The dialogue is from the classic movie Laura (1944), and the lines are from the police interrogation scene featuring Gene Tierney and Dana Andrews. However, when Christopher jokes about the movie he's seen 4 times, he is referring to something completely different (he mentions "The butler did it").
It's notable to see TV's Paladin, Richard Boone, acting with radio's Paladin, John Dehner.
In another reference to the movie Laura, this film opens with a view of Vicki's portrait, which looks eerily like Laura's portrait--same pose, same dress--as if Gene Tierney's head was replaced by Jean Peters' head.
"Steve Christopher: Slug me with those, Cornell, and I'll square you off if it takes me the rest of my life. Lt. Ed Cornell: You're not gonna have a very long life, Stevie. You're like a rat in a box, without any holes. But they're gonna make a hole for you...six by three, filled with quicklime."
"Lt. Ed Cornell: When I put all my evidence together, I'll have you strapped in that chair so tight, you'll scream."
