Wissenswertes
Martin Radley makes a comment about the false name he used when he rang Barbara Everton and links it to the poem "Enoch Arden". This is a poem published in 1864 by Alfred Lord Tennyson, the Poet Laureate at the time. The poem is about a man who goes to sea to earn money to support his wife and family and returns after ten years to find his wife is remarried with a new child.

The position of Eddie, the pawnbroker, varies between shots when Martin Radley is trying to pawn the pendant.

Zitate
Martin Radley: I've decided to leave England, Barbara, and incidentally to leave you in peace for the rest of your life.
Barbara Everton: Well I wish you had done so without telling me that you were alive.
Martin Radley: No doubt, but I'm afraid that was impossible. I'm broke, my dear, and air passages are strictly cash. I need £500.
Barbara Everton: I haven't a penny.
[Martin looks around Barbara's opulent drawing room]
Martin Radley: You disguise the fact admirably.

Dennis Price Walks Away With The Acting Honors

Copper and family friend Duncan Lamont drops in at the home of Patrick Barr and Renee Asherson, to comment on the crime novel publisher Barr has asked him to vet. He says that sympathetic murderers are a bad thing, and there's no excuse. Asked what he would do if someone he loved committed a murder, he decides he would resign.

Little does he know that he is about to be put in that position. Miss Asherson had been married before, to Dennis Price, but he was in a house that was bombed and declared dead. In reality he had used the opportunity to go AWOL and forge a new life as a criminal. Now a robbery he did resulted in a man in critical condition. His usual sources of money dry up and he goes to Miss Asherson and blackmails her with the specter of bigamy.

Actually, I think the courts would be on her side, but this second feature has a lot of moments that are quite telling. Dennis Price had played cold men before, but in this one he's absolutely nasty and sneering.... and capable of any bad act.
