Wissenswertes
The role of Anthony John was originally written for Laurence Olivier, who was unavailable when the film finally went into production.

Patzer
From all appearances during the opening sequence, Anthony John's new comedy is just opening on Broadway --- deliverymen carry a fresh sign into the lobby covered with blurbs from rave reviews, leading lady is asked to look at new publicity photos and theater is packed during scene from play. But suddenly, it's revealed that this play has been running a year and is actually about to close. In reality, virtually all plays close due to dwindling attendance (and don't have SRO audiences in last days, as does this one) nor do producers waste money on advertising and publicity on productions that have already posted closing notices, as appears to be the case here since actors are already discussing their next jobs.

Zitate
Ray Bonner: Everybody wants to be a detective - I think it's all these radio serials.

Crazy Credits
Opening credits appear against a theatre image with stage curtain.

Ronald Colman stars as the obsessed thespian who takes his work seriously.

If you like "Othello," you'll love this flick since half the movie revolves around the stage production of the play.

The film has a great cast with Signe Hasso and Shelley Winters as the women in Colman's life while Edmond O'Brien plays the enterprising press agent.

A couple of the supporting players I particularly liked were Millard Mitchell as the grizzled reporter who finds an angle and Joe Sawyer, the 1940's answer to Drew Carey, who plays the cop on the case.

Great raw moments in this one with noir realism throughout.
