Trivia / Blast of Silence

• Celebrity Voice Actor: In an odd sort of way. Lionel Stander, the narrator of the film, was a well known film and radio actor in the 30s and 40s. However, he was blacklisted by the HUAC for his political beliefs and unable to star in anything afterwards. As "Blast of Silence" was an independent film, he was able to provide the narrator's voice regardless (though he still had to remain uncredited).
• What Could Have Been: Peter Falk was originally considered for the role of Frankie, but he turned the project down to star in another noir, Murder Inc.
