Trivia
- Two of the book titles that detective Donald MacBride reads out loud are "Murder in the Laundry" and "Murder in the Chop Suey Restaurant," a clear reference to Sidney Toler's alter ego, Charlie Chan.
- In one scene, Brian Aherne takes a burning roast out of an oven. The music Werner R. Heymann composed for this scene was used many years later for You Bet Your Life (1950) as the theme played whenever the wheel of fortune is being spun by a contestant.
- When Jeff returns to the apartment from his early morning grocery shopping, an unmistakable loaf of Wonder Bread in its famous white wrapper with balloons is seen on top of his bag. The first sliced bread available nationwide, Wonder was very heavily promoted, even planting a wheat field in New York City for the 1939 World's Fair.
