This was Reagan's last movie....In the closing scene, you will recognize the Universal Studios back-lot, if you've ever taken the tour.
Interestingly, from a musical perspective, Nancy Wilson does a fine job interpreting a Henry Mancini original "live" on film in a club...Music by "Johnny" Williams (of course, 'John' Williams) of later "Star Wars" and other great film scores. This film was shot during his "jazz" days. Williams is a fabulous jazz pianist, a fact that many fans are not aware of. Angie Dickinson and John Cassavettes appear in other Lee Marvin films, (Dickinson-"Point Blank" and Cassavettes-"The Dirty Dozen"). The music of this era of 'film-noir' is always dark, jazzy, and intriguing. Check out the music of "M-Squad" (Stanley Wilson), a late 50's, early 60's cop thriller also starring Lee Marvin.
