Trivia
This was columnist/TV panelist Dorothy Kilgallen's film debut, and only movie as an actress apart from a gag cameo in Pajama Party (1964) 28 years later. Fittingly, she plays a reporter.

Goofs
When the New Jersey hotel owner enters David's room; he tells Ernie and the cops that someone has to pay for the door. But the cop next to him mouths some words that appears to be"shut up" but there is no audio or sound coming out of the cop's mouth.

Quotes
Police Captain Bill Royce: What was the idea of jailing Lorraine Lampier? The Commissioner had me on the carpet five minutes after Bacomb got her out.
Ernie Hyams: What did you expect me to do? Take her along to Hoboken?
Police Captain Bill Royce: Well, I've known you to take girls to funnier places than Hoboken.

Average Murder Mustery

I just this morning watched Sinner Take All (1936) on TCM. It is definitely a B movie, but just good enough to keep the viewer interested in finding out which suspect will be the killer. Bruce Cabot plays the reporter who is also a lawyer working on the case. Margaret Lindsay has the female lead. Neither Cabot nor Lindsay generates much interest. Joseph Calleia is always good and here plays a shady nightclub owner, as he usually does. Stanley Ridges has a small role here, but in a few years he would shine as a great nemesis for Errol Flynn in They Died With Their Boots On. It's all a fairly routine MGM production. The reporter hero works directly with the police and sometimes even seems to be in charge of the investigation. Sinner Take All is nothing special, but can be a pleasant way to spend seventy four minutes.
