Curiosidades
The film started production in the San Francisco produce market, through the cooperation of the Wholesale Fruit and Produce Dealers Association. After the studio decided to use the title of the source novel "Thieves' Market" for the film, the Dealers Association strongly protested, and the title was changed.

Pifias
At the end, when Nick is confronting Mike, he hits Mike's hand with the small hatchet. The head of the hatchet can be seen flying off the end of the handle. However, in subsequent scenes, the head is back on the handle. (correction follows) Nick is holding the hatchet by the head and hits Mike with the butt end, at which time, some unidentified object already on the table bounces into the foreground. At this point, the entire hatchet head can still be seen in Nick's hand.

In the same scene, Mike can be seen nursing his injured, bloodied hand. Later, however, as Nick attacks Mike, there is no sign of blood on Mike's hand.

Citas
Rica: [knowingly, after getting out of the shower, and hearing that Polly has walked out on Nick] Aren't women wonderful?

Keep On Truckin'

This was a pretty good film noir - nothing spectacular - involving a crooked trucking boss, "Mike Figlia" effectively played by Lee J. Cobb who was good at playing nasty villains. In this story, a young trucker, "Nick Garcos" (Richard Conte) whose father was ruined by Cobb, goes after him to settle the score. Nick drives up north to San Francisco to seek him out but has some rough going himself, until the end.

This had interesting characters and a different type of female lead in European actress Valentina Cortese, who was good film noir material.

The story moves pretty fast with few, if any, lulls, yet seems longer than it's 93 minutes. I found this was one of those films I liked a lot better the first time than the second, lowering my rating. It's definitely still a film to check out if you're a film noir fan.
