Histoire

- AnecdotesThe footage of the oncoming train was used again in other RKO films including Le pigeon d'argile (1949), L'implacable ennemie (1951) and L'énigme du Chicago Express (1952).
- GaffesAlbrecht Dürer's "Adoration of the Magi" (called "Adoration of the Kings" in the film), and the forgery that is passing for it, are shown as paintings on canvas, which people roll up in several scenes. However, the real painting is on a wood panel.

George Steele: [interrupting] I know that.
Terry: OK, you know that. You know everything. You're the great Steele. You walk through brick walls. You...

Terry: You can wait here. They're going to put in a streetcar soon. Unless... unless you have some dim idea of what you're doing and want me to help you.
George Steele: I always ask one question of people who want to join my club. Who's Traybin?
- ConnexionsEdited into L'implacable ennemie (1951)
Charlie Chan movies occasionally involved art thefts or forgeries. Of course, there is the black bird in "The Maltese Falcon." But generally, this is an unusual setting for a film noir, which this definitely is.
It's tense but maybe not so tense as it might be. I like Hitchcock but do not worship at his feet. Whoever, had he directed this, it could have been a tight, thrilling picture. He'd have story-boarded it all before filming and we'd have been on the edge of our seats as ti played out.
He didn't, of course, and it's still a really good movie. It's noir with a highbrow twist, just as "Red Light" -- which I haven't seen in 15 years and wish would turn up -- is noir with a religious setting.
