Gordon MacRae and Virginia Mayo in Backfire (1950)

Trivia

Backfire

Edit
Completed in October 1948, and bears a 1948 copyright statement on the opening credits, but not released until 1950.
The IMDb cast list reflects the order in the original 1948 designed screen credits; however, in the 2 years before it was eventually released theatrically, the stature of the players had changed dramatically, and so the 1950 designed advertising material lists them in a much revised order: Mayo and MacRae in large type above the title, O'Brien, Clark, and Lindfors in that order, in much smaller type below the title.
Features two future Best Supporting Actor Oscar winners: Edmond O'Brien and Ed Begley.
Gambler Solly Blayne (Richard Rober) is shot from outside the living room window as he relaxes in his Los Angeles home, which is exactly the same way that gangster Bugsy Siegel was killed in Beverly Hills in 1947.
Sheila MacRae's film debut.
