Trivia
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.

Goofs
When we see Candymouth Duggan for the first time, he knocks down a plank on the fence by the river. When the plank falls, the string holding it can be clearly seen.

Quotes
Jim Fremont: Every time a man is convicted, a lot of friends and relatives show up here. They scream that the guilty man's been railroaded or framed or beaten up by the police to get a confession. But they never have a shred of evidence to back up that accusation. Now, if you can show me some new evidence, Miss Barton, I'll listen to you.

Mobsters frame innocent union boss

The mob has infiltrated a union and are about to be ratted out to the state's attorney. They rub out the songbird and make a patsy out of the union's leader. Things look bad for the condemned man, but his girlfriend never gives up trying to exonerate him. Good film with lots of old familiar faces.
