Trivia
The Harcourt Street branch line (which was closed in 1958) was used for filming most of the train scenes. By this point, only the single track between Foxrock and Shanganagh junction remained, which was being ripped up at the time filming took place.

Quotes
James Ronald Mulcahy: Sins are the normal response of a healthy human being to a difficult life.

This is another entry into film-noir of the 1950's.

William Bendix gives another brilliant performance as a blasphemer. Aldo Ray performs in a strange and unique role. The conclusion of the film may not come close to Dietrich-Laughton in "Witness for the Prosecution", but one could see a comparison with the original "Bad Seed"
