Casting

Tracy had starred in three shorts earlier the same year and Bogart had been an unbilled extra in a silent movie a decade before, but this is the first credited feature film for both actors. This was the only feature film that close friends Tracy and Bogart ever made together. They tried to make "The Desperate Hours" in 1955, but neither would consent to second billing, so the role intended for Tracy went to Fredric March instead.

Claire Luce (1903–1989) made very few films, but was on Broadway in many plays from 1923–1952. She should not be confused with the more famous author and playwright Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987).
