Wissenswertes
Larry and Sally screen Das Phantom der Oper (1925), which he cites as one of the films directed by the long-ago murder victim, Franklin Ferrara. Of course, the film was directed by Rupert Julian, but the writers obviously felt (no doubt correctly) that audiences in 1951 would not know or remember this, plus it allowed them to re-use footage of a silent classic.

Patzer
When Richard Conte sees on sidewalk the director's signature, it can see easily that a newest cement on that spot, all around is aged.

Zitate
Larry O'Brien: They only made silent pictures here?
John Miller: The first ones and the best ones. Ever since 1915, Mr O'Brien. Why, this street has been everything from Klondike Gulch to a canal in Venice. It's been Chinatown, Park Avenue and the Barbary Coast. You see that corner there? Well, that's where Lee surrendered to Grant. Custer made his last stand right in the middle of that square.

A good mystery with a fascinating back story

My position is exactly the same as that of bsnmsn. I saw this on "The Late Show" (for me, a locally-operated movie slot following the post-prime time news), where I saw numerous great, old films. Then, years later I learned about the William Desmond Taylor murder and recognized the parallels to this movie. Just couldn't be coincidence. I think I've seen "Hollywood Story" once since then, either on local TV in the late 70s to early 80s, or on a cable channel (TBS, WGN, WOR) in the early 80s. I keep scouring the listings of Turner Classic Movies for it, but so far no luck. BTW, I gave it a 7 out of 10, dropping a little because I remember it as looking somewhat low-budget; it IS an early William Castle effort.
