Trivia: When Thorndike (Pidgeon) is captured, the George Sanders character inspects his belongings including his rifle, which bears the maker’s name of “Hammond and Hammond, Bond Street”. There was no such gunsmith in the UK and it seems likely they name is borrowed from a very famous gunsmith called Holland and Holland of Bruton Street, which is situated nearby.
Goofs: Factual errors: London tube trains have a unique 4-rail electrification scheme – a third rail in the usual outside position at 420 volts and an unusual center rail at -210 volts. The movie’s tunnel set has only the center rail.
“British hunter Thorndike vacationing in Bavaria has Hitler in his gunsight. He is captured, beaten, left for dead, and escapes back to London where he is hounded by German agents and aided by a young woman. Written by Ed Stephan <stephan@cc.wwu.edu>”
