Note that this is one of fourteen movies made in the 1940s with Chester Morris playing the fictional character "Boston Blackie", a former crook turned detective (there had been ten silent movies made in the 1920s), all of which were based on short stories by Jack Boyle. Note that this was the first of the series, and Columbia did not expect big things from it, so they only created a two-color one-sheet on its first release!
