Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Ann Savage and Tom Neal reunited here after their iconic pairing in 'Detour' (1945)—this was actually shot first but released later.
Produced by PRC, the poorest of Poverty Row studios, this was literal filler meant to pad double bills while bigger studios rationed film stock during WWII.
