The poor little bureaucrat Herr Bulic is tricked into gambling by Dimitrios. Herr Bulic buys his beautiful wife an evening dress to wear to the Casino. The dress is a two-piece with a long black skirt and a long sleeve top covered in bugle beads. Except for a black velvet bow at the cleavage, it is identical to the one worn by Yvonne in "Casablanca" where she tells Rick "What a fool I was to fall for a man like you!"

Although he has the largest role in the film (and plays the hero for once), Peter Lorre is billed fourth behind Greenstreet, Scott and Faye Emerson. This was Zachary Scott's first film role and Faye Emerson has quite a small part confined to only one section of the film. The billing was always ascribed by Lorre to the personal enmity studio boss Jack L. Warner felt toward him.

In the nightclub scene, when the band plays "Perfidia," the close-up is of a musician on a cimbalom. This is an instrument commonly played in central Europe and parts of the Balkans.

Fifth film of nine pairing Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre released from 1941 to 1946, all from Warner Bros.
