Quotes from
Betty Strauber: All you've ever done for me is mess up my life. Fixed it so the things that I wanted to have, I can't have anymore. All right. If I can't live one way, I can live another. Why not? I'm young and pretty and...
Mary Dwight Strauber: And dumb.
Betty Strauber: But you're smart. You can teach me the rest.
David Graham: Uh, pardon me, but I don't believe a word you're sayin'!
Mary Dwight Strauber: You think I'm pretty low, don't you?
David Graham: Now, what do you expect me to think? I meet a lot of people in this job. Some of them I feel sorry for because they - they just can't help themselves. They don't know any better. They're the misfits of the world. But you, you're not that kind. You know what's right and you know what's wrong. You know better, but you just won't do anything about it. You choose to think that you can get through the world by outsmarting it. Well, I've learned that those kind of people generally end up outsmarting themselves. And that's exactly what's going to happen to you. And I won't feel a bit sorry about it, because, lady, you've got it coming to you.
Mary Dwight Strauber: Thanks for telling me.
Mary Dwight Strauber: I'll get you, even if I have to crawl back from the grave to do it!

Facts about
Humphrey Bogart and Mayo Methot fell in love during production. They were married as soon as he had divorced his second wife, Mary Philips.
Screenwriters Rossen and Finkel capitalized on a sensational trial reported by the "New York Times" between May 14 and June 22, 1936 according to film historian Charles Eckert. Prosecutor Thomas E. Dewey was the prosecutor and Charles "Lucky Luciano" Lucania his target. Dewey went on to become New York governor and a two-time Presidential candidate while Luciano went on to organize Dannemora, the New York dock workers, and the international drug trade. The women whose testimony led to a conviction left the House of Detention and were sent to Dewey's offices in the Woolworth Building, where they received sums ranging between $150 and $175 dollars, barely a half week's wages that they earned as prostitutes. Then, according to Eckert they "disappeared, as they do in the film, into the fog."
