- TriviaThe Pyramid Clubs mentioned had sprung to prominence the year this film was released, first in California and then across the nation. Club members joined for $1.00 with the promise of making $2000.00 in a relatively short time. The notion was the basis for what became Multi Level Marketing. The fad had a resurgence several times in the 20th century and has come to be referred to as a pyramid scheme.
- GoofsNighttime scenes are filmed using a filter to make the scene appear to be night. But night skies often alternate between being light and dark, while distant objects are often obvious or are obscured by the darkness. But the night sky is always black and distant objects fade to nothing in the dark.

Featured review
Passable Black Market Baby Crime Drama
Okay, Dennis Okeefe and Gale Storm deliver competent performances and Marjorie Rambeau is effective as the matronly but menacing madam baby broker, but this movie is surely most memorable as the sole instance in which a young Raymond Burr (merely stout here, but still not thin) gets the s$#@ kicked out of him, which alone makes it worth the price of admission. Painfully corny narrative framing sequence at the beginning and the end (where there is a big unintentional laugh), but by and large a straightforward and enjoyable minor noir. At times a bit preachy perhaps and hardly a masterpiece but worth a look when it pops up on TCM late night.
