Trivia
According to Dan's ledger, after his apprenticeship where he made $15/day working 5 to 6 days per week, he is making $40 per day - about ten times what the average blue-collar worker was making at the time. And that $40 would equate to around $776 in 2021. This astronomical amount for the time reflects the danger of the job and the probable fact that few men would be willing to take the job.

Goofs
About 14 minutes into the movie, Sam & Dan are having a beer at a bar. When the camera is showing the two from the front, Sam's beer is about half empty but when there is a shot from behind the two, Sam's beer is empty. These exchanging camera shots reveal this mistake 2 or 3 times.

Sweeter All The Time
(1937) (uncredited)
Written by Andy Iona and Lysle Tomerlin

An insightful and relatively interesting look at a dangerous job, enlivened by the inclusion of a few colourful supporting characters. The film is nevertheless weighed down by a predictable, typical romance, the lack of solid story to go with the insight it provides, and in addition, the acting and the technical aspects are not any better than ordinary. However, at least the film manages to be engaging for the whole of its duration, because at approximately one hour in length, it hardly has the chance to overstay its welcome. It is worth checking out if it comes to television, even if it is not the type of thing that is worth seeing more than once.
