Leon Ames and Joan Woodbury in Cipher Bureau (1938)

Trivia

Cipher Bureau

Edit
About 17:45 in, Leon Ames makes reference to an agent named Wycoff. Wycoff was Ames's real name, and the one he used in his early films.
This film received its first telecast Sunday 5 May 1940 on New York City's pioneer, and still experimental television station W2XBS. It was once again taken off the shelf Monday 20 November 1944 on WNBT (Channel 1). In Los Angeles it first aired Sunday 14 March 1948 on KTLA (Channel 5), in Washington DC Tuesday 30 March 1948 on WMAL (Channel 7), in Baltimore Friday 23 April 1948 on WMAR (Channel 2), in Detroit Friday 22 October 1948 on WXYZ (Channel 7), in Lowell MA (serving the Boston Area), Saturday 23 October 1948 on WBZ (Channel 4), in Atlanta Wednesday 7 May 1949 on WSB (Channel 8), and in Salt Lake City Saturday 12 November 1949 on KSL (Channel 5).
Joan Woodbury, playing femme fatale Therese Brahm here, played the rather simple-minded Aicha in the same year's Algiers (1938).
Screenwriter Arthur Hoerl always considered this his best picture.
The car used by Major Waring near the end is a Lincoln, identifiable by its greyhound hood ornament. The design for that ornament was commissioned in 1927 by Henry Ford's son, Edsel.
