    • Trivia
      Lloyd Nolan was almost blinded when the glass splinters from a bullet that smashed a window hit him in the face. He was rushed to the hospital and a doctor carefully removed a shard of glass from the edge of his cornea.
    • Goofs
      When Adrienne is taking care of Marlowe after the car crash, she hands him a mirror so he can see his injuries. As he's putting the mirror down, the face of a stage hand is reflected in the mirror.
    • Quotes

      Adrienne Fromsett: [to Marlowe] Perhaps you'd better go home and play with your fingerprint collection.

    • Crazy credits
      SPOILER! In the opening credits Chrystal Kingsby is written as being played by Ellay Mort, the phonetic spelling for 'elle est morte', French for 'she is dead.'

    Ten dollars a day and expenses.

    Striking camera work letting the viewer see through the eyes of hard-boiled detective Philip Marlowe(Robert Montgomery). This is an intriguing Raymond Chandler tale that has the "private dick" solving a murder while seeking a missing socialite. Montgomery directs himself and is primarily only seen in a scene looking in a mirror. Novelty of the camera work is clever and makes YOU part of the movie. Its pretty cool finding the clues. Very apt cast featuring Audrey Totter, Lloyd Nolan, Leon Ames and Jane Meadows. Fun to watch.
