  1. Good movie…Never guessed John Hoyt was an agent, didn't expect Barbara Payton to get killed. John Hoyt was in an episode of the Twilight Zone.

  2. Barbara Payton was on the horizon to be a major player, but after a few short years, she was history bc of her alcoholism and finally her retreat to prostituting herself for $5 a trick.

  3. counterfeiting has an interesting snag. Its seems the american public, in theory, has to be an expert in detecting counterfeit currency or they are expected to foot the cost of the bill. Is there any protection to the citizens to be insured somehow if the counterfeit is of a quality that can fool a banker, or a store owner ? I guess this is a question for you lawers out there
