Curiosidades
The opening building shot (model) is the frequently-used one that goes as far back as Hembra (1933) with Ruth Chatterton, though it likely predates even that film.

Pifias
When Lieutenant Ryder goes to Phil Richards' apartment and Phil introduces him to his fiancée, she is holding a cigarette and pointing it up with the palm out. But on the next cut, she now has the cigarette pointing toward the Lieutenant. Then on the following cuts after that, she goes back and forth between the two holding positions.

Créditos adicionales
In the opening credits, the leads are optically billed not by their names or even their characters' names, but by their characters' professions (e.g., "Newspaperman," "Night Club Owner"), though the actors are listed in the prior title cards.

Nimble, enjoyable comedy-mystery. Nan Wynn a delight!

Typical, unpretentious Warner Bros. 'B' programmer. A brash reporter and a dour homicide cop investigate the murder of a nightclub owner. The film zips along at such whiplash speed (running time a mere 57 minutes)that you may well lose track of the complicated plot. No matter. William Lundigan is lively and likeable as the newsman, and, as a special bonus, this is one of the few films featuring the delectable Nan Wynn (best-known for her luscious dubbing of most of Rita Hayworth's musicals). Wynn is a fetching delight in the female lead as a nightclub singer, and sings three songs with style to spare. Why Nan Wynn didn't become a musical movie star in her own right (instead of being Rita Hayworth's 'Marni Nixon') and why Lundigan never joined the 'A' list of leading men are unanswered questions more mystifying than anything in the plot of "A Shot in the Dark."
