Part of Kino Lorber's Sixth Film Noir Box Set along with Jacques Tourneur's The Fearmakers starring Dana Andrews and Dick Foran (who also co-stars in this movie) and The Boss starring John Payne. Although political corruption is not mentioned on the box set itself, it does define all three movies, all of which are regarded as not genuine noir films, but with noir elements.
The opening montage includes the Oriental theater's marquee, playing Das verflixte 7. Jahr (1955), with the iconic photo of Marilyn Monroe as she stands over a subway vent. The photo in this case is approximately 35-40 feet high.
