Edward G. Robinson appears in a film clip of a 2006 video documentary short distributed by Warner Brothers with the DVD release of "A Slight Case of Murder." The short, "Prohibition Opens the Floodgate," was about the plethora of gangster and organized crime movies that Hollywood produced during the prohibition era (1920-1933). Robinson's snippet is from a film interview in 1938 during the movie's release. He says, "You know, I've been wanting to get into an honest-to-goodness comedy for a heck of a long time. My wife has seen me die in pictures so often, she was beginning to feel like a celluloid widow."
The play opened on Broadway in New York City, New York, USA on 11 September 1935 and closed in October 1935 after 69 performances. The opening night cast included John Harrington as Remy Marco and Georgia Caine as Nora Marco. Future screen star José Ferrer played a Policeman.
