Curiosidades
Mr. Sloan tells Henry to "bring 'em back alive", and to hire "Frank Buck" if necessary in relation to finding Gus before the mob gets to him. Sloan is referring to the real Frank Buck who was well-known at the time as a big-game hunter and a supplier of animals to circuses and zoos. The line "bring 'em back alive" was the title of his first best-selling book about his exploits.

Pifias
The main and trip odometers on Lila's car read the same when she drives into Upper Tuxton and later when Henry drives the car there.

A fun little B-movie.

Aside from the bad opening scene (which was WAY overdone), "The Golden Fleecing" is a cute little B-movie and is well worth your time.

Lew Ayres plays Henry Twinkle, a very mild mannered insurance salesman who wants to make a sale in order to get a raise...and then he can afford to get married. Well, he thinks it's a shoe-in after making his latest sale. What he doesn't realize is that the guy who purchased the policy is a wanted criminal with a $25,000 reward on his head and fellow mobsters who want to silence him....meaning it's very likely SOMEONE will kill the guy and force the insurance company to pay. So, Henry gets the idea to look for the crook (Lloyd Nolan) and keep an eye on him....just to make sure he stays safe. Where this then goes is pretty crazy...but I'll say no more because I don't want to spoil it.

The film has a cute, clever script that kept my interest. Well written, but more importantly a lot of fun to watch.
