Wissenswertes
The title melody "Meet Mr. Callaghan" was picked-up in tempo and became a 1952 double-chart topper for both Les Paul and for the Harry Grove Trio, and remains a durable standard.

Patzer
Inspector Gringall and Sergeant Fields enter Gringall's office, placing their hats on the hat stand, Field placing his on the right hand side peg. A moment later Slim Callaghan enters and places his hat on the same peg (now empty), Field's hat now on the left hand side peg.

Zitate
Slim Callaghan: What would I be doing, wandering around a bunch of stiffs, early in the morning?
Darky: If you thought you'd get anything by it, you'd sit up all night in a sewer double-crossing the rats.

Poor Mans version of Sam Spade

Derrick De Marney plays Slim Callaghan as a poor mans version of Sam Spade or Phillip Marlowe rather unsuccessfully.The air of world wide cynicism may work for Bogart or Dick Powell but it doesn't work for him.This is one of those rather over plotted thrillers where the private eye is always one step ahead of the dimwitted police and the actual killer comes as little surprise when the identity is revealed in the denouement.In the meantime Adrienne Corri is given time to warble a ballad in a nightclub and show a lot of fiery temperament.There is the usual attempt at a funny sidekick,from an actor i do not remember>Michae Balfour who normally fills these roles has a small part as a bartender.Fairly undistinguished all round.
