Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn later years, Lucille Ball was vocal about hating the experience of shooting "The Dark Corner". The lion's share of her resentment was pointed at director Henry Hathaway, whose bullying reduced Ball to stuttering on set, at which point Hathaway accused her of being inebriated.
- GoofsWhen private investigator Bradford Galt strong-arms Fred Foss to reveal his home phone number, Foss replies, "CHelsea 4-43510." In the Manhattan phone book for 1946, they only had the CHelsea 2 and CHelsea 3 exchanges. This may be an early version of the 555 prefix which is the convention for fictional phone numbers.
- Quotes
Kathleen: You should have William Powell for a secretary.
Bradford Galt: William Powell... who's he?
Kathleen: Don't ya ever go to the movies? He's a detective, in "The Thin Man."

Featured review
Great little-known film-noir
Watched this on American Movie Classics the other day ... what a great surprise. Witty dialogue with lots of clever innuendo, murky (but not annoyingly so) plot, and stark, moody lighting set the scene for the "typical" noir scenario in which the smart-cookie secretary (Lucille Ball) saves the private eye's hide. The costumes are also wonderful -- 1940s glamour all the way, from Lucy's tailored suits to the rich wife's evening gowns and nightie (gasp!).
