Wissenswertes
The prison scenes were filmed at Stateville Prison in Joliet, Illinois, where the real Roger Touhy was incarcerated. The film was previewed at Stateville on July 12, 1943 with the Governor of Illinois (Dwight H. Green), and over 1,000 police officers and State's Attorneys from Chicago other Illinois communities in attendance. Touhy, who was suing 20th Century Fox to prevent the films release, was not invited to the show, nor were any other prisoners. The screening was held in the prison chapel. The lawsuit against Fox dragged on until 1949. Touhy won a $15,000 settlement on a $100,000 lawsuit for libel against Fox (for making the movie) and the Chicago based Balaban & Katz theatre chain (for showing the movie) on November 1, 1949.

Tough Toughy.

Or Preston Foster at his peak, as he will be several years later in KANSAS CITY CONFIDENTIAL. Robert Florey also made crime flicks as this one for Paramount, and Louis King too, same kind of short, fast paced, brutal , with no waste at all stuff, co starring the likes of Tony Quinn, Lloyd Nolan, J Caroll Naish, Robert Preston.... So this one made by FOX is a pretty good surprise; at first I thought it was from Paramount. Gangster B movie typical from the thirties and forties. One decade later, Phil Karlson could have done the same film.
