Did you know

• Alexander Korda thought the film was dreadful and would only be given a limited country release with no London showing, but another film failed and Korda's company was approached for a replacement. 'Nightbeat' was all that they could offer but at the press show the critics thought it was awful and the only good thing was the performance of Michael Medwin.
