Anecdotes
Key to the City (1950) was the final film role of Frank Morgan, who died at age 59 of a heart attack on 18 Sep 1949, shortly after completing his work on this film, and Clara Blandick (both of whom were best known for their roles in The Wizard of Oz [1939]). Clark Gable, who had made five films with Morgan, was a pallbearer at his funeral. Morgan was an unforgettable character actor who earned an Academy® Award nomination for Best Actor in 1934.

Gaffes
Towards the end of the movie when Steve (Clark Gable) and Les (Raymond Burr) are fighting, the handkerchief in Steve's jacket pocket is even across the top. The camera switches to Les, then back to Steve and the left side of the handkerchief is higher than the right. Not long after, both sides are even again. Then towards the end of the fight, the handkerchief is missing completely although we didn't see it fall.

Citations
Judge Silas Standish: Public service is a fine thing, Clarrie, but you can't cuddle up to it on a cold winter's night.

Générique farfelu
During the opening credits, the names all have "house keys" shown in the name.

fun to watch but 100% ORDINARY

This movie is pretty good but falls into a period of Glark Gable's career when many of his films just looked like they were quickly churned out and could have been a lot better if they had a little bit better writing and if there was more energy to the film itself. In other words, Clark Gable and cast seem more like they are going through the motions to get a paycheck and this film offers nothing particularly new or exciting. In fact, the film is a step back because the plot seems even more trivial and forgettable than most of his films of the day. You would think that with Loretta Young and Clark Gable you'd get a film that is more than just a time-passer--particularly when you think of how marvelous they were together in CALL OF THE WILD. This film is for fans of Gable or Young but is pretty skipable for others.
