Anecdotes
Even though the film was about the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover would not sanction it because Producer Edward Small refused to allow the FBI to interfere with production and review the film prior to its release.

Gaffes
Like so many other characters in crime stories, Grayson made what could have been a dangerous mistake when he didn't wash his hands after handling the poisoned glass in von Stolb's quarters. He picked it up from the inside to avoid smudging fingerprints, but because the glass contained residue from the deadly poison, the residue would have remained on his hands.

Citations
Philip 'Scotty' Grayson: Hmmm. You know Braun could be a pretty fair painter...
Daniel F. O'Hara: Yes, if there wasn't so much red in his work.

Générique farfelu
Narrator Reed Hadley is billed in the opening titles--unusual in an era when narrators generally were not credited, often even when they were famous.

Remade as David Harding, Counterspy (1950)

well-made

A communist spy ring infiltrates the top secret Lakeview Laboratory of Nuclear Physics. Dedicated FBI agent Daniel F. O'Hara works late into the night. He receives a call from fellow agent Jimmy Colton who is murdered before he could reveal his info about Lakeview. He is joined by Philip 'Scotty' Grayson from Scotland Yard in the investigation.

It's a G-man noir, standard police procedural. They're all in spiffy suit and tie and wearing their hats. They talk in that hardened police tone. It has the police narration. The plot is a straight investigation with the standard twists and turns. The story is ripped from the headlines. It's a well-made police noir.
