    Quick twists and turns...

    Fast paced mystery, surprisingly unpredictable. It's nice to see so many locations in Los Angeles of the mid 1940's. Much of the film gives you studio backlot scenes, and behind the camera context, within a Hollywood soundstage. Even so, the story draws you in, and the characters are believable. The film moves at a good pace, and keeps you guessing. Thoroughly enjoyable.

    • Trivia
      The motion picture studio seen in the film is in fact the old RKO studio lot, now part of Paramount Pictures studio lot. Despite the film having been made more than seventy years ago, a lot of the buildings on the lot are virtually unchanged.
    • Goofs
      During the chase towards Sunset Studio Billie is driving her cab with Lawrence sitting in the back. When they get out at the studio gates Lawrence gets out from behind the wheel and Billie from the back. Presumably there was a scene where they switched places that ended up on the cutting room floor.

      Louie Buchanan: [with menace] You see too much - you think too much - and you breathe too much...

      Tom Lawrence: [helpfully] Yeah, and bet too much on the wrong horses.
