¿Sabías que...?
- CuriosidadesAlthough the onscreen credits state this is an original story, it is actually a remake of Murder Will Out (1930), which has a virtually identical plot and uses many of the same character names.
- PifiasThe money in the small bag handed over to the three men in the boat, although in fake currency, appears to be mostly $1 bills - in bundles marked $1,000, though in stacks to small for that amount in singles. Even with $1,000 bundles there would have to be 250 of them and only about a tenth of that is shown in the small bag. $250,000 in $1 bills would also weigh about 550 pounds.
- Citas
Torchy Blane: Step aside, Gahagan, and let the lady in.
Detective Sergeant Gahagan: Now, quit kiddin' Torchy. You ain't no lady. You're a reporter. And I just got orders to throw you out.

TORCHY BLANE IN CHINATOWN 1938
Barton Maclane, Glenda Farell. From the Torchy Blane series. Classic fast-talking good-guy police detective MacBride and his girl, Torchy (reporter). I have a love/hate relationship with this whole series (nine of them). This one was one of the better ones. A blackmail case.
But throughout the series Torchy, a pretty reporter, is constantly trying to snoop into ongoing police investigations, jeopardizing her own and other peoples' lives, not to mention stealing or tampering with evidence. She is always on the verge of getting arrested or rubbed out by the murderers or gang members. So she's irritating.
I'd rate the similar "Maisie" series (with Ann Sothern) higher.
