Wissenswertes
The swastikas on Dorgan's satchel were a traditional Native American sign of "Good Luck", and are not to be confused with their later, better known use as an emblem of the Nazi Party.

Patzer
In the Police Report regarding the murder of Detective Henderson; for the entry "By whom found (Name)" the word patrolman is misspelled. It reads "PATROLAM FOSTER" when it should read "PATROLMAN FOSTER".

Zitate
Slug: What would you take for a little dance?
Polly: I'd take arsenic!
Slug: Smart little cracker, ain't ya?

Robinson rehearses Rico

Before his breakout role in Little Caesar Edward G. Robinson gets some practice in as a thug nightclub owner in The Widow from Chicago. Featuring the limited Alice White in the lead Robinson has little trouble in garnering all the attention in this mediocre crime pic.

Polly Henderson's policeman brother is murdered while working undercover. She swears to get the man behind his murder and goes undercover herself as the wife of a supposedly dead mobster. Getting a job at Domenic's club she begins to make headway when the faux widow's husband turns up breathing.

Whites high pitched squeal of a voice and cutesy mannerisms are cloying within the first reel leaving it up to Murray Hamilton and Robinson to inject the proceedings with a feeling of dead seriousness which Edward G does with aplomb in a supporting sporting role. In it you see the first vestiges of the cock sure Rico, a touch less subdued but every bit imposing. But with White occupying most of the screen time The Widow from Chicago deserves no sympathy.
