Actor Fred MacMurray bought Martin Rackin's screen story and hoped to be cast in this film, but was replaced by George Raft. At that time, the Los Angeles papers announced that the local bail bond racket was about to be exposed.
Vince's car is a 1947 Cadillac Series 62 convertible. In 2016, this car, if in excellent condition, could be worth more than $100,000.
Brackett's cash bail of $25,000 would be the equivalent of nearly $250,000 in 2016.
RKO contract director Nicholas Ray had been considered for the picture, along with Jean Wallace for the female lead that ultimately went to Ella Raines.
This film failed at the box office, resulting in a loss to RKO of $280,000 ($2.94M in 2019) according to studio records.
