- Ensemble Dark Horse: Panama Smith seems to be this for female viewers at the very least. This is no doubt due to her being a very different mold than most female leads from movies of that time. Specifically, the fact that she is about as gangster as Cagney and Bogart yet still as glamorous as any other female lead from the era.
- Retroactive Recognition:
- Yeah, Humphrey Bogart is in this. He wouldn't get his big break till High Sierra.
- Also, Elaine Brewster (Arsenic and Old Lace) and Iva Archer (The Maltese Falcon).
