Curiosidades
During the Broadway season of 1939-1940, the role of Harry was played by then-unknown Gene Kelly.

Pifias
Joe points his gun at Blick and pulls the trigger. And when it doesn't go off he says "That dumb Tom. He buys a six shooter that won't even shoot once." Even though he knows he loaded and unloaded the gun early in the film. And it happens to be a gun that only holds five cartridges.

Citas
Joe: Living is an art, it's not bookkeeping. It takes an awful lot of rehearsal for a man to get to be himself.

I have now seen every movie James Cagney has made. For some reason, until recently this film hasn't been on television for years. While Maltin found this film disappointing, I really enjoyed it. It is a cozy sort of movie with about 98% of the film taking place in a barroom. Cagney is terrific as the man who sits at the table observing life as it passes him by. Everyone who comes in talks to him. Cagney's real life sister Jeanne, gives a fine performance as the daydreaming girl from Chicago. William Bendix has to be one of the greatest character actors of all time. His performance as Nick, the owner of the bar, glues the film together. This movie was well worth the wait.
