    • Trivia
      Although this entry in the series was critically well-received, author Erle Stanley Gardner reportedly hated it as did many of the readers of the Mason novel. Gardner repeatedly offered his services to Warner Bros. as consultant for the screen adaptation, but, in his words, "I have been continually snubbed."
    • Goofs
      When Perry is picking out crabs at Fisherman's Wharf, he says, "Joe, we've decided upon these four antagonistic anthropods." Crabs are arthropods; there is no such thing as an anthropod.

    not the Perry Mason you know from tv...

    This is the best of Warren William's performances as Perry Mason, well directed by Michael Curtiz. This is nothing like the PM you've seen from Raymond Burr, and not exactly like the PM in the books, either.

    many scenes are hilarious, the french accent and the onion scene being prime examples. Olin Howland as the coroner is priceless.
