Trivia / The Whole Town's Talking

• Acting for Two: Edward G. Robinson is the timid Jones, and the killer Mannion.
• Creator's Oddball: People still get surprised when they hear John Ford directed this Screwball Comedy. This was four years before Ford directed Stagecoach and became widely regarded for his work on Westerns.
• Playing Against Type: Edward G. Robinson only accepted the role because it played with his gangster image. It's also an early example since it's 9 years before his role in Double Indemnity.
