Did you know

• Many censors cut parts of the death scenes of the woman (Arlene Francis) of the streets - eliminating her stabbing and being tied to the cross beams.

• Among the caricatures drawn on the walls of Dupin's apartment is the likeness of Edgar Allan Poe, who wrote the story the film is based on.

• Universal replaced Robert Florey from directing Frankenstein (1931) (for which Bela Lugosi did a screen test) with James Whale. Boris Karloff replaced Lugosi in the film and played the monster. As compensation, Universal Pictures assigned the director and Bela Lugosi to this film.
