- Billing Displacement: Humphrey Bogart was the star, but Ida Lupino got top billing. This is changed in later releases.
- Enforced Method Acting: When Ida Lupino found herself unable to cry during the final scene, Humphrey Bogart coaxed her into it by telling her, "Listen, doll, if you can't cry, I'm going to take the picture away from you."
- Hostility on the Set:
- Ida Lupino was very annoyed by Humphrey Bogart's continual sarcasm during the shooting.
- Raoul Walsh stated in his biography that Bogart always complained about anything or everything: food given for lunch, settings, conditions of shooting - everything.
- Self-Adaptation: W.R. Burnett co-wrote the screenplay with John Huston based on his novel.
- Star-Making Role: This film, along with The Maltese Falcon, established Humphrey Bogart as a leading man.
- What Could Have Been: James Cagney turned the film down in order to avoid being typecast. Edward G. Robinson was also considered.
