    • Trivia
      First English language film of George Pravda.
    • Goofs
      At approximately 29 minutes into film, there is a short scene where the film has been flipped during editing. It occurs when the villain, "Viner" walks up the path to a cottage. Three things are obvious. the car is now pointing in the opposite direction from when parked, the path to the cottage bends the wrong way, and most glaring of all, the large notice for a hotel in the background is reversed - as looking at it through a mirror.
    • Crazy credits

    The Template for all B-Movies

    This movie provides a good template for the B-Movie, including Russell Napier as Sgt. Duggan, a short explications passage outlining the situation, several scenes where the detectives are shown investigation, a brief violent movement followed by Duggan's re-emphasis on the importance of observing the law. Not exactly distinguished, but watchable enough.
