- QuizJust after the opening titles, in a comic scene, Cesar Romero mixes a cocktail that explodes. Mixing cocktails, or "flair bartendering" as it is known in the USA, was a hobby of his and he took part in competitions. In montagna sarò tua (1942) also has a comic scene where he tries to impress Betty Grable and John Payne with his mixing skills.
- BlooperAlthough the receptionist at Danny's hotel would have had to tell Inspector Rigby and Detective Sergeant Reilly which room Danny stayed in as she did with O'Dell, she makes no reference to them when O'Dell returns Danny's key.

Inspector Rigby: You know Reilly, of all the myths perpetuated by the cinema, the most patently inaccurate is the invincibility of the amateur detective.

Recensione in evidenza
In the thick fog of a London night a man is deliberately run over by a car driven by a woman: he was Denny McMara. The police classify it as an hit-and-run accident, but the young Heather, Danny's sister - basing on her own "intuition", but lacking of evidence -, is convinced it was a murder. An American magazine writer, Philip O'Dell, mainly motivated by the sex appeal of Heather, wants to help her prove her point, though Scotland Yard's inspector Rigby warns him not to mix, as an amateur private eye, with the sound investigation routine of the police.
But O'Dell, little by little, manages to uncover a ring of 4/5 people that would have had interest in killing Danny, their motive, and even the actual murderer. The problem is that every evidence he finds happen to be destroyed before he can show it to the Yard's inspector. At the end Rigby himself congratulates with O'Dell for solving the mystery: and we don't know why, because all the members of the gang are dead, by now, so the eventual evidence in the end is as feeble as it was in the beginning.
Quite cumbersome and totally predictable film, in whose plot nothing new happens; to make it worse, the comic traits are just laughable (ironically), not amusing.
O'Dell and Heather, at the end, of course, marry, which doesn't make the film any better, on the contrary...
