The only known print of this film was destroyed in a fire in June of 2008, leaving only a few very low-quality--basically unwatchable--prints in the public domain. Eddie Muller, host of Turner Classic's "Noir Alley", did a bit of detective work and found a 35mm print at the British Film Institute. He had it shipped to UCLA Film and Television Archive where, with financial help from Muller's own organization, the Film Noir Foundation and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's Charitable Trust, the film was preserved for future generations. This is one of Muller's favorite noir films for a number of reasons, including the pairing of two great actors, Ann Sheridan and Dennis O'Keefe , who wrote their own dialogue, but mostly because of its use of San Francisco, Eddie's home town, while it was still a bustling, growing, blue-collar seaport.
When Elenor is doctoring the dog food, she uses Tabasco and Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce - 2 products that still happen to use the same packaging even to this day.
The "laughing lady" at the amusement park is also featured in M (1931).
Robert Keith was the father of Brian Keith and was formerly married to Peg Entwistle who jumped to her death from the letter "H" on the Hollywoodland sign in 1932.
Ann Sheridan not only hoped this film would rekindle her acting career after leaving Warner Bros., but as a silent co-producer, she also had a financial stake in its success.
"Inspector Ferris: Don't you eat anything but dog food? Eleanor Johnson: He's not particular, and I'm lazy, so we eat out."
"Blonde: It's no use lookin', honey. Once they're gone, they're gone."
