Short description

What's left behind the scenes

  • The film is based on documents from the Los Angeles Police Department.
  • Although only Werker is credited as director in the film's credits, most experts agree that Anthony Mann made a significant contribution to its creation, having already drawn attention to himself with the semi-documentary noir film "T-Men" (1947).
  • The Los Angeles Police Department provided assistance in the production of the film. Marty Wynn, credited as a technical advisor, was a police sergeant.
