| Trivia | When the two leads get into a taxi and are subsequently joined by the two bad guys due to the wartime restriction to fill cabs, the taxi driver is a very young Shelley Winters. See more » |
| Goofs | The film opens with an establishing shot of the San Francisco Bay Bridge, then shows Eileen Carr (Nina Foch) standing on a bridge walkway and being accosted by a policeman who asks if she's there to kill herself. The Bay Bridge has no walkway and is not known as a suicide site; scenarist Aubrey Wisberg probably had it confused with the Golden Gate Bridge, which does have a walkway and is famous as a suicide bridge.

| Quotes |
Eileen Carr:
Well, the fog couldn't be any thicker. Paul Devon: Fog? What fog? I don't see any fog. Eileen Carr: Well, what do you call this? Paul Devon: Moonlight... in a new disguise. It's everything, but more mysterious and beautiful. Eileen Carr: Do you really see all that? Paul Devon: Uh-huh... in your eyes. Eileen Carr: Well darling, keep looking. And I hope I'm not dreaming tonight. See more » |
