Trivia
The opera shown on the theatrical posters in the opening scenes is "Adelia," by Donizetti.

Errores
Someone as "highly intelligent" as Francoise would not have disposed of the murder weapon in a bucket of water, where someone would be sure to find it.

Citas
Dinner Guest: The way I look at it, Mr. Attorney General, there will be crimes of passion as long as there is passion.
Germaine Cartier: In my opinion, madame, the urge to kill has roots in hatred, rather than in passion or in love. Hatred in it's most severe form. Jealousy. Don't you agree with me?
Francoise Moliet: Well, you may be right, Mr. Attorney General. I don't know, but, a woman - or a man - may have a deeper motive for killing than jealousy or even love. A human being could kill because she herself has first been killed. Before she kills, the other two, the victim and her accomplice, must have killed her soul. Murdered it. A soul that murders in it's turn.

Créditos curiosos
Opening credits are shown on the pages of a book, a reference to the "journal" in the title.

Lovers triangle

Apparently a remake of the french "Un Vie Perdue" ( A Life Lost), at the heart of this one is Paul (Adolphe Menjou), who is married to Francoise (Ruth Chatterton). He has a "thing" with his co-worker Odette (Claire Dodd)... but she wants Paul to choose between herself and the wife. Suddenly, a shot rings out and someone is kaput! Whodunnit? Menjou is the usual quiet, calm, sophisticated guy he always plays. It's even more interesting timing, the making of this version, since 1934 was ALSO the year that they began really enforcing the film production code, with the strict rules of conduct and conversation. I'll not ruin any surprises, so when the viewer has watched it for themselves, he or she can decide if this was made following the stricter Hays rules. The setup for the story is done in the first third of the film, and after that, we watch as events unfold, based on what happened at the very beginning. This was one of the first films directed by William Keighley, and he did a fine job. Shown on Turner Classics now and then. Entertaining enough. Nothing too serious.
