This nasty little FilmNoir was the last film Fritz Lang made in Hollywood. Lang, tired of the studios, left afterwards for his homeland of Germany, having fled ThoseWackyNazis over 20 years before. See the critically-panned Creator/KevinSpacey movie ''Film/TheLifeOfDavidGale'' for another film with a similar premise. Creator/PeterHyams made a remake in 2009.

** Or maybe PlotHole...but since Tom turned out to be guilty after all, why in the name of all that's holy did he agree to this scheme in the first place? Why deliberately implicate yourself in a murder that you actually committed and have gotten away with? Apparently he thought nobody in their right mind would suspect he ''did'' do it after getting exonerated, but that backfired horribly.
** This also occurs with Tom's admission to Susan. As Tom was a former newspaperman, and he was trying to get himself framed, he could have easily said he did research into Patty's real identity to make the frameup more convincing.
** The best explanation would be that he was engaging in a highly complicated, risky, and potentially idiotic Double Jeopardy scheme.

** Tom says he "had to" marry Patty, implying it's because she [[TheBabyTrap claimed to be pregnant]], something a film wouldn't openly say then without violating [[https://productioncode.dhwritings.com/multipleframes_productioncode.php Section II of the Hays Code]].
** Susan also makes a just barely veiled request for sex.

'''Tom''': All right. Where?\\
