Trivia
Both Audrey Totter and Robert Taylor relished making this film - Totter, because she got to play a professional woman as she did in La dama en el lago (1946), and Taylor, because he got to act and not just be a "pretty boy".

Errores
(at around 9 mins) A group of doctors is looking at Kenet's skull X-rays. The X-rays are hung behind the illuminated frosted glass panels, so viewers can see the X-rays, but the doctors could not. And the X-ray as the viewer sees it is oriented correctly to show a left-side hematoma, but to the doctors, the X-ray is reversed, meaning the hematoma would be on the right.

Citas
Steven Kenet: All this is confidential between doctor and patient isn't it? You're in a hurry to get in and report this aren't you? Well I can't stop you but just remember, you're the one who sold me on the idea of surgery, of fighting for an acquittal. Why did you bother?

Much more than an overrated 'B' movie...

THE HIGH WALL gives Robert Taylor a chance to demonstrate that he was a very capable actor and much more than just a pretty face. Audrey Totter, as a psychiatrist who decides to help him prove he did not kill his wife, makes a strong impression opposite him. And Herbert Marshall is quietly effective as a mysterious man who knows the truth.

All of it is directed in brisk film noir fashion by Curtis Bernhardt with the accent on dark shadows and rainy streets to give it the proper noir atmosphere.

Rather than tell the plot, I'll just say that the story moves swiftly and keeps the viewer absorbed from start to finish. It's a well-paced thriller that makes use of psychiatric trends that may date the film today--but it's all done with such authority that whatever script contrivances are present don't really matter. It's intense and absorbing all the way in true film noir style. Taylor has seldom been more convincing as the distraught bomber pilot trying to find out whether he killed his wife or not.
