Trivia
- The aircraft used towards the end is a Lockheed Model 10, similar to that flown by Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan on their last flight. This one has had its NC registration number obliterated, and it appears at one time that it may have been used as a military trainer since it seems to have a gun turret mounting ring installed aft of the cockpit and ahead of the cabin door.
- The twenty-seventh of forty-seven Charlie Chan movies.
- Musical Director Emil Newman, younger brother of Alfred Newman and older brother of Lionel Newman—both also composers and conductors for 20th Century Fox—used a variation of his brother Alfred's 'Street Scene' for the title sequences. 'Street Scene' had been a staple musical theme at Fox, featured in several films prior to Alfred Newman conducting an on-screen orchestra in 1953 for a symphonic rendition that debuted in 'How to Marry a Millionaire.' 'Murder Over New York' was one of Emil Newman's first films.
