¿Sabías que...?
- CuriosidadesThe seductive Italian dialogue Sgt. Carey uses to sweet talk the blonde secretary at approximately the 35 minute mark roughly translates to "I think it would be great to make a nice dish of pasta and meatballs"
- PifiasNight time scenes were filmed using a filter to darken scenes. But this technique merely only slightly darkened the scene and left the sky lighted. Further, detail (distant, even close) is evident, when in fact it would, should fade, disappear, into the shadows and darkness of the background. This was exhibited when Catherine enters a room after having failed to have turned the light on in a room. She then enters what is supposedly a dark room, YET moves easily about it, never bumping into any furniture, and even readily spots the dead corpse that it contains! And all courtesy of the script.

John Morland: Murder, my friend, is like a game of solitaire. To be sure of winning it, it should be played alone.
- Créditos adicionalesThe version airing on the Fox Movie Channel has credits in a modern, video-generated font, suggesting that the original main and end titles are lost and were quickly and cheaply re-created.

Reseña destacada
Yikes, but there's a load of dialogue in this film-noir. It's almost exhausting to listen to after a period of relentless chatting and precious little actual action. "Moreland" (John Eldrdge) features much more prominently in this detective yarn about his own murderer than you might expect. That's because it's told via a series of flashbacks as the pursuing police detective "McMullen" (Larry J. Blake) interviews all the suspects and tries to piece together the evidence from his widow "Catherine" (Jean Rogers), the DA "Conroy" (Richard Travis) and just about everyone else from within a ten mile radius of the crime. Thing is - there is a twist, and one hell of twist at that, and that leaves "McMullen" and his theories all well and truly up in the air. We are given enough clues to anticipate the denouement, but Eugene Forde still manages to keep us guessing for some of this - it's just that there's way too much verbiage and the retrospective style of storytelling is a bit repetitive after a while. None of the acting, or the writing, really sets the heather on fire and at times it felt like quite a long hour-long watch. Watchable, but forgettable.
