| Curiosities | The movie followed the then current tendency of radio and TV shows to work in the sponsor's products wherever possible. Liggett & Meyers Tobacco was the TV/radio series' main sponsor, and though it is doubtful they had any financial involvement with the movie, packs of their Chesterfield cigarettes can be seen throughout the movie. Every public place in the movie also featured a Chesterfield vending machine. |
| Bloopers | The murder scene is an open lot bounded by Loma Vista, 3rd, Wentworth and Rachel. These are actual streets in the LA area but do not intersect or form a block. Obviously the geography is intentionally inaccurate, which is also the case with that referred to hundreds of films and television programs. In such instances, if an actual address is used the occupant would have grounds of legal action if the location were to attract unwanted visitors. |
