The $150 that the paper offers Higgins(Phil Silvers) for the photo he takes of Michael Shayne would be $2,885 in 2024,

Patzer
In this film everything seems to be open through the night and everybody is fully dressed in business attire at all hours. The jeweler is one such person. He is fully dressed, coat and tie, after 1 am (the viewer knows this as in the preceding scene Higgins tells Morrison his photo of Shayne was taken at 1 am). Apparently in this world no one disrobes and goes to bed at night, not even late at night. In an earlier scene there is even a tour of Chinatown at what must have been close to midnight.

Those Fabulous, Fake 1940's!

Fast and furious "B" courtesy of Lloyd Nolan's unstoppable for very long Mike Shayne, private, I guess, detective. Murder abounds most foul, but you can be readily assured in this instance the butler didn't do it. Courtroom highjinks are just the beginning of the fun as Mike bothered by brunette reporter with occasional appearances by photographer buddy played by Phil Silvers in early "Sargent Bilco" mode, investigates in the wings of the local Ed Sullivan theater searching for a knife throwing contingency. After 2 or 3 conks on the head, sped up fist fights, being saved by bruised brunette more times than was needed, Mike is finally free to hunt down the master maniac. Imagine the surprise when we find out courtrooms are often like outhouses, full of stuff we'd rather not see, let alone smell.

The adventures of Mike Shayne weren't huge moneymakers for 20th Century Fox, in the detecting arena that role was filled by the ever scrutable Charlie Chan. Suffice it to say, this caper "Just Off Broadway" wasn't the best sparkler in the series, but an OK time waster in the 60 minute market. The method of death here can not be expected to be any "knife in the water".
